The Mill Messenger
On The PROWL towards Excellence
A Message from Mrs. Foster
I hope you have enjoyed a restful and fun summer! Our custodians have been working around the clock to prepare for our students return, keeping safety a priority! As you walk into the front office, you will notice that the striped wallpaper has finally been removed and a neutral paint is going up! I am so excited!
I realize that everyone is facing unique challenges due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Please know that my door is open if I can be of any assistance to you during this time. You are not alone! AMES may look and feel a little different this semester, but the heart of our school is beating just the same!
Committed to Excellence,
Beth Foster
