This Week at AMA
Dr. Seuss' Birthday- Wacky Free Dress
In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday on Friday, March 1st, we celebrated by dressing up in our craziest outfits and wacky hairstyles!
Read Across America
In honor of Read Across America, we welcomed author Lisa Wiehebrink to come and share her KIND Kid program to the children. Her presentation reinforces kindness, compassion, and empathy by bridging the connection between animals and people. It was such a hit with our students! If you would still like to order one of her books, you may do so through the front office.
A Look Ahead
Spring Break Camp Registration Now Open!
If you would like to register your child for Spring Break Camp from Monday, April 1st through Friday, April 5th, you may do so by clicking on the link below. Daycare will be available from 7:30am to 5:00pm at $50.00 a day and is only open to currently enrolled AmeriMont Elementary students.
Unfortunately, younger siblings are not permitted to attend spring camp, as our campus is not licensed for this specific age group.
Please note that a minimum of five children must be enrolled for camp to run each day. We recommend that each child bring at least two snacks in addition to their lunch if they will be attending camp all day.

Citizen of the Month Awards 2/22
On Friday, February 22nd, we will hold our Citizen of the Month awards at 8am on the yard (weather permitting)!
Throughout the month of February, students have been learning what it means to display perseverance; working towards a goal despite being faced with challenges. Each student votes for someone in their class who has displayed these qualities and believes they should be recognized.
Be sure to ask your child about how they can persevere through challenging situations. Each month, AMA will focus on a different trait based off the 7 habits of effective leaders.
The trait we will focus on in March is citizenship; making your school, community, and the world a better place.
Mrs. Thompson's first grade class will also be performing on this day at 2:00pm in the MPR.
All Citizen of the Month Awards are formal dress days.
