PTO Fundraiser Information
Thank you to everyone that donated to the PTO Fundraiser! Although the ultimate goal of $6,000 was not met, it was still a very successful campaign. The effort raised $5,630 - which is 93% of the goal. Your support of AGS staff and students is sincerely appreciated!
Positivity Project (P2)
Next Week's Theme: Self-Control
WHAT DOES SELF-CONTROL MEAN?
You have the ability to control your emotions
and behaviors. You think before you act.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
People with self-control are able to limit
impulsive behavior, and they have the
ability to work through difficulties while
remaining poised. They understand that
through discipline and restraint, there are
greater, long-term goals that they can
accomplish. Self-control is like a muscle: it
gets stronger the more it is used.
“If you can learn self-control, you can master
anything.”

Community Partners
AGS would like to thank following local businesses for their support of our staff and students. Carlson's Greenhouse and Gill-Roy's Hardware donated Holiday decorations to our school. Bill Carr Sign's recently installed 3M Safety Film and a customized perforation film on the front entrance of AGS. We appreciate all of our Community Partners.
Free Digital Library Card
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we move forward into the school year, we have noticed that it would be helpful if your child had a library card for the Genesee District Library. This is a free resource for all who live in Genesee County, and allows students and families instant access to digital book downloads and audio books. By having a library card, students will be able to access a broader variety of books, which will give them more opportunities to find genres and authors they enjoy.
This year, the Genesee District Library is doing a pilot program with our district to help all students obtain access to digital resources. Below is a link to register your student for a digital library card. We are asking that you please take 2-3 minutes to sign your student up for a digital card so that they can obtain access to audio books and ebooks in their English class. The link closes on Tuesday, November 7, so we are asking you to sign up as soon as possible.

Thank you for helping us help your student get their hands on books they will love.
