AMMS Community Member,
This past week we got the final nine-week quarter of 2022-2023 off to a successful start. The upcoming eight weeks will be busy with a variety of different events and activities including student performances, track & field meets, recognitions and celebrations. Please remember that on March 28 student report cards will be available on the Skyward system for the 3rd quarter. If you have a student at Apopka this year, please review your child's grades with them sooner vs. later as we still have two months of school remaining.
Thank you for reading and have a wonderful week.
Mrs. Lisa James
Principal
Apopka Memorial Middle School

2) Earth Day and Food Waste Prevention |
|
To celebrate Earth Day on April 22, 2023, Orange County Public Schools and Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) are teaming up with states and cities across the country to celebrate Food Waste Prevention Week, April 10-16, 2023. Our mission is to raise awareness and inspire a call to action to address food waste in our home, workplace and community. |
|
Throughout the month of April, Food Waste Prevention Week is offering several webinars for OCPS staff and students to learn about reducing food waste at home, school and in your community - sign up free registration at https://www.foodwastepreventionweek.com/webinars
Did you know???
- Reducing food waste saves families money. A family of four can save on average $1,800 annually.
- Up to 35% of all food produced is thrown away rather than eaten. Safe and nutritious food that is currently thrown away could help feed hungry people.
- Greenhouse gas emissions from food decomposing in landfills is a major contributor to climate change. Additionally, reversing this trend provides an opportunity to conserve precious land, water, energy, and human resources.
Take the challenge and learn how to reduce the amount of food being wasted in your home and our schools by following @FoodWastePreventionWeek on social media and visiting www.foodwastepreventionweek.com

Cristiano Ronaldo On Creativity
I see football as an art, and all players are artists. If you are a top artist, the last thing you would do is paint a picture somebody else has already painted.
~ Cristiano Ronaldo, soccer champion
Drew Barrymore On Evolution
I've always loved butterflies, because they remind us that it's never too late to transform ourselves.
~ Drew Barrymore, actress and talk-show host
Henry Ford On Continuous Learning
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
~ Henry Ford, Ford Motor founder
Booker T. Washington On Adversity
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
~ Booker T. Washington, educator
Michael Jordan On Confidence
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
~ Michael Jordan, basketball star
