All For Books - Twice As Nice Change Campaign!

5/15/2019

Our school is collecting funds for the All For Books program again this month. By donating $1 or any loose change, you will help purchase books for some students during our book fair June 4-6. Since this is a BUY 1, Get 1 FREE fair, your kindness will go twice as far!

What's more, the donations we collect also help readers beyond our school and community. Scholastic matches monetary donations up to $1 million in books and distributes those books to children in need.

Baggies for funds will be sent home soon. Please return donations by TUESDAY, MAY 28 to classroom teachers or drop off in office.

Thank you for your help!

If you have any questions, please contact Hilary Prosser.

Amundsen Spring Sports Clinic

5/6/2019

Friends of Amundsen is inviting the 5th-8th graders of Waters Elementary to attend a Spring Sports Clinic on Saturday, May 18th. This will be a super fun event where the junior high students will cycle through 3 sports in a really fun and engaging way. It will be a great chance for kids to check out Amundsen sports, try a new sport (or one they already love), meet Amundsen coaches, and meet the new Athletic Director for Amundsen.

Additionally, this is a great opportunity for our neighborhood junior high students to engage with AHS - their neighborhood 1+ rated school! The goal is to get AHS into the high school decision conversation when these kids are in 5-7th grade. We believe a great way for them to start talking about Amundsen is to let them have some fun on campus and to see all the great things Amundsen has to offer!
