Reminder - Early Dismissal Tomorrow for End of Third Quarter

8th-grade students were given permission slips to attend the Real World Field Trip on March 27th. Please return those slips by Monday, March 23rd. It is a bright green paper!
The Real World Financial Literacy Simulation and Career Exploration event is sponsored by The University of Illinois Extension and is held at CSC. Lunch will be provided!

The 8th-grade science classes applied their technical skills to complete simulations on selective breeding and natural selection. They practiced using genotypes and phenotypes to predict probable offspring. They also learned that changes in an animal's environment will maintain the organism's population, preventing it from taking over the world!

All A-Town practices for tonight, 3/10, have been canceled.

AAMS will be participating in a lockdown drill with local police departments this morning. This is a yearly requirement through the ROE.

Congratulations to seventh grader, Mirrah Cardona, who earned 3rd place with her 2-D artwork over the weekend. Ms. Harrison entered Mirrah and several other students' work in a local art show for 7th-9th graders.

The pictured Interact Club students (minus 2) held 50/50 raffles at the Middle School boys basketball and girls volleyball games. The $1200.00 generated from their efforts were divided between the three food pantries that serve families in our communities. The A-Town Interact Club is honored to support the efforts of the food pantries to help the families in our communities.
