Congrats to the most recent “Gold Standard” students at AMS, Kevin and Matthew! 💛🐝
Matthew comes to school with a great attitude and is ready to learn. His teacher is very proud of his effort and enthusiasm.
Kevin was chosen for helping keep the school clean and organized, often picking up after his classmates without being asked. His initiative and pride in his school set a great example for others to follow.
