🏆 WIN THE MOMENT! 🖤💛
This week’s Win the Moment students are making a difference in all kinds of ways! From cleaning up after the girls wrestling meet and the GEHS football game, to helping classmates get caught up after being gone, to using their own strengths in the classroom to help others who may be struggling, these students are showing what it means to be a great classmate, a great teammate, and a great young person.
These students make ACMS a better place to learn, grow, and be every single day. We are proud of you! 💛

Who says studying has to be boring? 😎 Mrs. Williams’ and Mrs. Feaser’s students put their knowledge of The Outsiders to the test in a Jeopardy-style showdown.
✍️ Today, Allyssa Howard from the Gretna Public Library visited ACMS to lead our students through a Blackout Poetry activity! Students took prewritten pages from old books and created their own poems by blacking out all the words except the ones they wanted to use.
📖 Swipe to check out a poem created by one of our talented 6th grade students! We love seeing our students explore new ways to be creative and express themselves!
Thank you to Allyssa and the Gretna Public Library for sharing this experience with our students, and to our awesome librarian Anna Burry for making this experience possible! 💛🖤

The Excitement Is REAL at ACMS!

We LOVE celebrating our weekly WIN THE MOMENT nominees! These outstanding students make a difference at ACMS through their kindness, helpfulness, and everyday actions that make our school a better place.
But the excitement goes beyond the nominees! One of the BEST parts of WIN THE MOMENT is seeing students celebrate one another. When classmates recognize the good in others, offer encouragement, and cheer each other on, it strengthens our school community and reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a BIG impact.
Congratulations to our WIN THE MOMENT nominees! Let's keep spreading kindness, recognizing one another, and making every moment count at ACMS!
🎤🧠 Mrs. Boldt’s 6th Grade Family Consumer Science students showed off their knowledge of the 6 Essential Nutrients by writing and performing their very own Nutrient Raps! 🎶 Everyone had a blast creating, performing, and listening to their classmates’ raps.
