App Creators designed and built apps about our school! 7th graders collaborated with Avid students to create apps about Avid, and 6th graders created apps to give information about ACMS. Families and staff members were invited to come learn about and use the apps today and were all so impressed!
8th grade students in Ms. Williams' class prepared for a test today while playing Operation! What a fun way to study!
As the AVID students restocked the Wolf Den, preparing for another busy day, they expressed excitement, thanks, and gratitude to Mr. John, for providing a brand new shelf to organize their merchandise and inventory. The Wolf Den is a student store owned and fully operated by the AVID Elective students under the supervision of Mr. Watson. Proceeds offset the costs of AVID field trips and activities. Thanks, Mr. John!

News from our athletic department!
Cops for Tots!
Thirty-five years ago, one employee at the Greer Police Department started the Cops for Tots Program as a way to help a small number of struggling families in the Greer area at Christmas time. The program was established to provide gifts for children who otherwise would have no gifts to open on Christmas day. Since that time, the program has grown exponentially and now helps hundreds of children each December.
If you'd like to make a donation, here is some information! Toys you can be dropped off to Officer Moreno's office, and he will drop them off at the police department.
Mr. Watson and his AVID students spent the day collaborating, problem solving, and team building at the Flying Rabbit Adventure Park in Greenville! The students learned how to overcome obstacles and fears in an adventurous way!
Wolves of the Workforce: Today we had the pleasure of hearing from Dr. Liza Price, Veterinarian and owner of Riverside Vet. Students were able to make predictions on the causes of certain illnesses in animals and learned about the process of becoming a veterinarian. Thank you, Dr. Price for visiting us today!
Exciting news!!! ACMS had 3 students place into the SCACDA Middle School All-State Honor Choir! Around 1300 students across the state auditioned, and only 350 were placed in the choir. They will participate in the event on January 24-25.
Congratulations to Hadley Cash (8th Grade), Evenessa Kot (7th Grade) and Levi Kirkland (6th Grade)!
Today the Patel family, mother and grandparents of 6th grader Giya Patel, spent the entire day at ACMS sharing their life and culture with sixth grade social studies classes.

Tryouts start tomorrow! Go Wolves!
Students in Mrs. Harper's 8th grade classes have been logging the books they've read all quarter. A total of 122 books were read! Congratulations to our randomly selected readers of the month! They received a tiny trophy and a gift card.
AVID students just finished learning how to conduct tutorial labs.
The goal of AVID tutorials is to teach students how to learn through the inquiry process. Students also learn how to function in collaborative study groups and take their learning to a higher level, all while preparing for college culture. Tutorials are conducted every Tuesday and Thursday during the AVID class. AVID students will help each other and hope to be able to offer tutoring to non AVID students who may be struggling in core content as well!
We have some very BIG NEWS about two of our student athletes! Nealy Pretulak (left) has led the girls golf team to the State Championship.
