AMHS Prom This Saturday; Parent Volunteers Needed

AMHS juniors and seniors are surely looking forward to the Magical Masquerade at Founders Hall this Saturday, April 5. It will be a wonderful evening!

Prom organizers are in need of some help from parents to help out the day of the prom with various tasks, such as picking up linens, food, etc.

Anyone interested can contact Ms. Krupilis at gabrielle_krupilis@charleston.k12.sc.us

Snack Donations Still Needed To Fuel Students Through Testing

Every year, PIE coordinates snacks for the students during their AP and Finals Testing break time. As you can imagine, this involves a significant number of students and therefore requires a tremendous amount of snacks. If you are willing to purchase any of the below items, we would be very grateful for your support!

Sign up to donate snacks at this link.

Please deliver items to Ms. Ryan's office by April 25. Ms. Ryan is in room 7111. Please be sure to label the snacks for Testing Snacks.
