2016-17 AMS Annual Giving Campaign

Dear AMS Families,
I want to thank all of our families that have already contributed to our Annual Giving Campaign! We are again setting a goal of 100% participation from our school families. Achieving 100% participation builds community, identifies solidarity, and often inspires significant additional gifts.
I also want to take a moment to thank the class representatives for the Annual Giving Campaign.Their role is to be the cheerleaders for your class to help your grade achieve 100%!
Candice Witek - Pony
Christine Mancini - Kindergarten
Jake Capps - 1st Grade
Pat McCloskey - 2nd Grade
Molly Ursini - 3rd Grade
Chris Simms - 4th Grade
Audra Steller - 5th Grade
Scott Rackett - 6th Grade
Mark Jacobs - 7th Grade
Camryn Friel - 8th Grade
I feel blessed to lead the Annual Giving Campaign with support from the AMS School Board and committee members. While it is a team effort, please be assured that as principal, I handle all the donations and confidential information.
Please remember, your gift, at whatever level is comfortable for you and your family, will provide immediate, unrestricted support to AMS and help us to contain tuition costs as well as fund strategic initiatives.
Thank you in advance for your continued dedication and generosity to our children's school.
*Please note last week's graph was the results of the 2015-2016 year. Above is the class participation as of 1/30/17.
Blessings,
Camryn Friel
