Several ASMS musicians had an exciting opportunity to perform the National Anthem at Corning Community College before the last two weeks' women’s volleyball match! The event was coordinated by Mr. Pollock, our band director, who’s also the assistant coach for the CCC volleyball team.
​
It was a proud moment for our students to represent ASMS and share their talents in front of a college crowd. The performance was a hit and a great example of how our school community connects with others beyond our campus.
​
Way to go, ASMS musicians, and thanks to Mr. Pollock for making it happen!
Our classrooms are once again alive with energy, laughter, and the unmistakable shuffle of students getting into the swing of their new routines. Students selected their activity period classes, navigated their Samsung tablets, and hiked the many stairs- all part of middle school life at ASMS.
​
The school yard echoed with the familiar sounds of Four Square and the beginnings of new friendships. Families plan to convene in the community spirit at the PTA Ice Cream Social at the close of the first week, a sweet opportunity to connect with other students, parents, and staff while celebrating the start of the year together.
​
Meanwhile, the band room was full of “first notes” as returning musicians shook off summer rust and new players learned the ropes. Together, they’re already finding their rhythm.
​
And of course, the start of the year wouldn’t be complete without welcoming our new staff member, who brings fresh perspectives and energy to our community:
