First Quarter Honor Roll for AGS. Congratulations Students! Keep up the great work.
Spina Bifida is a birth defect that occurs when the neural tube, which develops into the spinal cord and brain, doesn't close properly during pregnancy. Spina bifida can range from mild to severe. Some people may have little to no disability.
Whereas other people may be limited in the way they move or function. Some people may even be paralyzed or unable to walk or move parts of their body.
In the United States, spina bifida occurs in about 1 in 2,875 births each year, or about 1,278 babies. Worldwide, it affects about 1 in 2,500 newborns.
AGS wants to help spread awareness! So we are asking students and staff to wear
yellow in support of all those affected on October 25th.
On last Friday, AGS students and staff celebrated the end of the first quarter with a friendly game of kickball and some refreshing popsicles. Special thanks to Mr. Heiden for calling the play by play!
You gotta love that new bus smell! Thank you Southern Bus Mobility for delivering our new Pre-K bus!
