| Celebrate Magnet at the Joe | |
 Please join PIE for a fun filled evening at the RiverDogs game on Friday, May 15th at Joe Riley Stadium. The fun will begin outside the gates where our own AMHS Dirty Birds will be performing. Cassidy Rindge, Student Council President, will be throwing out the first pitch.
Gates open at 6:00 with game time at 7:05. Group tickets can be purchased for $9 by clicking here for the group portal. Use the password AMHS15. Stick around after the game when our Seniors will be at home plate to start the fireworks show. Hope to see you all at the ball game! (Seniors do not need to purchase advance tickets. They should listen for school announcements on how to sign up for their game tickets.)

Athens and the Islands...
AMHS Spring Break 2016
|
Trace the path of Ancient History! Experience the Acropolis, Delphi, the Temple of Poseidon, Santorini, Patmos, Crete, Rhodes, and Ephesus.
We have slightly revised the trip for Spring Break 2016. With consideration for getting the best value for our money without missing too much school, we are offering a 10-day trip to Greece and Turkey.
We offered a trip to Greece a few years ago, and it was a great success, particularly the islands! Please take a look at the itinerary online or send me an email if you would like a hard copy. You can also pick up information in my room or in Mr. McCormick's. If you would like to register for the trip, please go to www.eftours.com, then type in the tour number 1668155KK. The total price is detailed for you on line. You can sign up for the trip with a $95 deposit. When you sign up on line, you can choose to pay the company monthly or pay in full, 90 days before departure.
The earlier you sign up the less the monthly payment! We have also included 2 extra activities in the price - a Greek cooking class and a Greek Evening with food and music.
