The AG Fund Update

Thank you to those who have already given to the AG Fund! We invite those of you have have not yet contributed to please consider doing so. No donation is too small, and all money raised goes directly to support students, teachers, and programs that keep AG on a path to success. To date only 21% of AG families have participated and we are therefore extending the campaign through the end of the month. We have a goal of 50% participation and we need your help to reach it! For more information about how to donate online, as well as the names of those families who have already contributed, visit https://agmspto.org/the-ag-fund/ . For questions or instructions on how to donate by mail or in person, please contact Katie Davis, katieldavis@gmail.com .

8th Grade Yearbook Recognition Ads Due January 25th

It is hard to believe that the end of middle school is right around the corner for your 8th grader! This may be a milestone in their life that you would like to recognize in a special way and the perfect way to do that could be with a recognition ad in the 2019-2020 AG Yearbook. The Yearbook staff is hard at work producing a wonderful keepsake book and pages are being reserved in the back of the book for recognition ads. Ads are available in multiple sizes and price points to accommodate your needs. Due to limited space, we are suggesting parents choose 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 page size ads to accommodate as many ads as possible. The ads are full color (no black and white available), and you have multiple layouts to choose from. The prices are as follows: ·    1/2 Page - $225.00 ·    1/4 Page - $135.00 ·    1/8 Page - $70.00 All ads are managed through Jostens so please DO NOT contact or send any materials to school. Click here for the direct link for 8th grade parents to purchase and create their ad, or go to Jostens.com. THE DEADLINE TO CREATE THESE RECOGNITION ADS IS JANUARY 25, 2020. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT! Questions? Martha Kinney at marthakinney@gmail.com OR Sherese Smith at sherese@smith-nc.com .
