You are invited to bring your lunch to the AMS library this week to discuss Ender’s Game and to play a Trivia Game for prizes. Pop and Dessert will be provided, but you need to bring your own lunch. 8th Grade = Wednesday 7th Grade = Friday 6th Grade = Thursday

A TRIP TO SEE THE MOVIE Saturday, Nov. 2nd I will be going to see the movie in either St. Joe at the Hollywood Theater or at Barry Woods 24 on Barry Road near Zona Rosa Plaza. It will depend on the movie times. I would like to go to a matinee around 4:00 PM. I will be able to take four students. There are two other teachers who might go and they would each be able to take four students. THIS IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE USD-409 SCHOOL SYSTEM. It is something we are doing on our own. If you would like to go and take your child that would be great! Please let me know if you can take other children, too.
