FFA Forestry, Crops and Horse will practice at ACHS on Tuesday until 5:00. Remember appropriate clothing and footwear for Forestry Events. State Fair Field Trip permission slips are due back to an advisor tomorrow!
If you are planning to attend the ACHS/AMS athletic events, please be aware of the following: it is the expectation of the ACHS/AMS administration that all children grades 8 and below will be accompanied by an adult at all times during the football game. This includes while they are watching the game and walking to and from the concessions and restroom. Students should conduct themselves in an orderly manner. Students that are not with an adult may lose the privilege of attending future games throughout the year.
