| | PIE Stocks the Senior Lounge and Prepares for Decision Day! | | | | Seniors were greeted with one last official Senior Lounge Snack Stock from PIE for the season to fuel our favorite 12th graders in their final weeks as they prepare for exams and finalize college decisions! And SAVE THE DATE for Decision Day on May 1st! | | Help PIE Give Thanks to AMHS Teachers and Staff! | | | | |
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up at the end of the month and PIE needs your help to shower AMHS teachers and staff with gratitude. PIE will be providing personal notes and a gift card to every staff member and will be raffling off gift baskets. The teachers LOVE the gift basket day and deciding which baskets they would LOVE to WIN! In addition, PIE appreciates any amount given to Venmo which will be split among all of our staff and teachers in the form of gift cards.
Find more information and sign up to provide a gift basket (or get the info to donate through Venmo) at this link!

| | Save the Dates for These Events in May! | | 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.

Congratulations to Amy Adyaeva and Vanessa Nguyen, who received a Student Service Grant from NASSP with the support of The Allstate Foundation in the amount of $1,000. With this funding, they will be working on a project that is an extension of their nonprofit & AMHS club “Jump Over the Odds.” They are working with Agape Care Group, a hospice and palliative care group that works with local facilities and patients in their private homes, on a landscaping project to create a therapeutic garden area for patients at a local facility. The project, a “Roots of Care Initiative,” is scheduled to be at the Oaks at Mt. Pleasant on April 12th from 8AM to around 1PM - we will be cleaning, planting, and making the place more lively! If interested, please fill out the Google form at this link. The number of volunteers will be capped, so those with gardening tools will have higher priority. Please email Amy Adyaeva or Vanessa Nguyen with any questions!
