AMS Families,


Good afternoon AMS! We had an arts filled week, starting with our band concert and ending with an impressive performance by our AMS choir. Our drama students will present their Spring musical, Spongebob this coming week! We are so proud of all our talented students.


This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and we look forward to celebrating the hard work and dedication of all of the fabulous staff at Austin Middle School!
