Huge success on Read & Feed for FLEX at AMS!!!

Thank you to the school foundation for the $5000 grant for books!!!

The  Anamosa Community School Foundation recently approved the request for $5,000 to the Middle School Library for the purchase of new books.  The Middle School Library has been able to purchase new, updated books on countries around the world, which many teachers use in their classes.  They have been able to purchase many books missing from popular series.  They have already seen a tremendous increase in the amount of books being checked out and read.  The students at AMS checked out close to 1,000 books in August this year!  The excitement for new books and new series are high.  They have even been seeing reading scores increase.  They look forward to buying many more books that the kids will all love throughout the year.  A huge thanks to the Anamosa Community School Foundation for their gift!

Summer Reading Assembly with Mike Ritland

We are pleased to announce that the students at Anamosa Middle School doubled their reading goal minutes for the summer and have currently read 206, 741 minutes!!  We also helped break the Scholastic World Records goal and are currently ranked 2^nd in Iowa for the most reading minutes!  As a result, Mike Ritland, author of Navy SEAL dogs, is coming on September 9^th to do an assembly for us and he is bringing one of his combat assault dogs for a demonstration.  We are so excited!!  We will be collecting “Donations for Dogs” for his foundation to thank him for coming!  Way to go, AMS!!!
