Ms. Frazier's second graders honoring Dolly Parton with our Imagination Library books on Dolly Day!






Mrs. Seaton’s first graders had a wonderful time learning about Dolly Parton today!
Students learned about Dolly’s dreams, her kindness, and the importance of showing kindness to others each day. They enjoyed discovering how small acts of kindness can make a big difference!



Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed from Ms. Dawnita's PreK!

Today, our ACMS Kiwanis Builders Club members gave speeches as they competed for the opportunity to serve as our President, Vice President, and Secretary!
