Coach McGuire’s 7th grade students celebrated Earth Day by planting new shrubs, colorful flowers, and fruit trees throughout our campus. Their hard work not only enhanced the beauty of our school, but also helped promote environmental awareness and sustainability for years to come.
A big thank you to Walmart of Calhoun and Cartersville for their generous donations, which made this project possible!

At AMS, our STEM focus goes beyond the classroom! Our schoolwide overarching question—“How can we build the relationship between our school and our community through local conservation projects?”—came to life today in a powerful way. 🌱
During their Connections time, several of our 8th grade students volunteered to serve others by helping build a community garden at a nearby apartment complex. Students planted tomatoes, bell peppers, and okra, taking the first steps in creating a sustainable resource for local families.
This project isn’t over yet! Next, our students will design a survey to gather input from residents so they can continue to grow a garden that truly reflects the needs and interests of the community.
We are so proud of our students for showing leadership, compassion, and a commitment to making a difference right here in our community!

Today, our 8th grade Social Studies students brought learning to life in a BIG way! Classes headed to the Aux Gym to take part in a hands-on simulation of the criminal justice system—from the moment of arrest all the way through trial.
Students actively participated in each step of the trial process, even trying out for roles as prosecuting and defense attorneys. This real-world experience helped deepen their understanding and will make those concepts stick for the Milestones Test. 😊
Officer Blackman even kicked things off with a live “arrest,” making the experience as authentic as possible!
Learning is always better when it’s engaging, interactive, and memorable! Way to go, Mrs. Ridley, Coach Dye & Mrs. King!

Thank you to all our vendors who spent their morning with our students!

Students in Mrs. Stewart's 8th grade math classes worked hard to prepare for their system of equations test this week! The teaching role was switched and students got to "teach" each other, help identify mistakes and misunderstandings, and tutor through meaningful conversations! So many students said they improved their understanding on the 3 methods- substitution, elimination, and graphing! The class was full of "shout-outs" and high-fives for each other!
🍬 Sweet Science in Action! 🍬
Today in 7th grade science, students turned jelly beans into a learning tool as they created their very own dichotomous keys!
Using color, size, flavor, and patterns, students worked step-by-step to sort and classify their jelly beans—just like real scientists do when identifying organisms in nature. 🔬
Who knew something so sweet could teach such an important concept? And yes… a few jelly beans may have mysteriously disappear.
