Your Parish Fair Chairs
Have you Donated to the 2015 AMS Annual Giving Campaign? 
Our goal this year is 100% participation from all AMS families. Your gift, at whatever level is comfortable for you and your family, will provide immediate, unrestricted support to AMS and help us to contain tuition costs as well as fund strategic initiatives. DONATE NOW    

For more information on our Annual Campaign's goals and purpose visit our website  or click here

Most of all, we want to thank all of you for supporting our school with your time, talent, treasure, and prayers.

Photo Make-up Day 
For those who were absent on Picture Day, are not satisfied with the original picture taken or for those students or teachers who are new to the school, we are having Picture Make-up Day on 10/29/15
If you are having your picture re-taken, please remember to bring back the original picture package that you received! Please include a note telling what you did not like about the original photo and what you would like us to do differently for the retake. See the flyer that came in your Wednesday envelope for more information.
Fair Toys Wanted!  
Adorable but unwanted Fair Toys (stuffed animals, balls, swords, etc. in good condition) are being collected for the O'Donnell Hall Christmas Project. 
Drop them off at the Barrera Home (1418 2nd Street, Manhattan Beach) and just leave at the front door any time.
 
Please don't bring the inflatables or dishes. Any cute fair toys that you think another child might enjoy and that you want to clear your house of are welcome! 
Our Yearbook Needs Your Photos! 
Did you have some pictures of the first months of school? Use this link to upload them for the Yearbook! And keep them coming all year long! 
Thank you.
