🖤💛 New quarter, new opportunities to Win the Moment!

This week’s nominees from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade were recognized for stepping up in all kinds of ways—from cleaning up the student section after Friday’s GEHS football game to leading by example in the classroom and showing growth academically, behaviorally, and socially. 👏

These students make ACMS a better place, and we’re proud to celebrate the positive impact they make every day. Way to go! 🎉

🏆✨ Celebrating our ACMS Students of Quarter 1! ✨🏆

"Always willing to help others."
"Strives to do their best."
"Serves as a positive role model for their peers."
"Asks thoughtful question and takes responsibility for their learning."
"Takes pride in their work and is always wiling to lend a helping hand."

Help us celebrate these outstanding students who make ACMS special! We’re so proud of you! 👏🎉

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!
