Looking for an Evening Out?

The 3rd Annual World Cup of Wines is coming in March!

On March 21, 2008 at 7:00 PM join fellow soccer supporters & wine lovers at the Anchorage Museum at The Rasmuson Center. This event is a fundraiser for the Anchorage Youth Soccer Club and tickets are just $40. Amy at the front desk has tickets available and all the details. Just a few more weeks to book that sitter and start the plan for your evening out...

Advocates for AMS...NEW AMS website!!!

Tomorrow is the day to chalk up some volunteer hours while also being an advocate for your child's school. AMS will be staffing a booth at the Anchorage Independent School Fair. It will be held in the BP atrium tomorrow, Saturday 2/23 from 12 - 4 PM at 1014 Energy Court. Please come out and support AMS!

Have you heard? AMS has launched a new, improved website! It looks WONDERFUL and will be a great launching pad for those interested in furthering their children's education in the Montessori tradition at AMS. Please check it out today & take note there's even a link to the very blog your currently reading!

How fun would this be?!

Do you or does someone you know play ANY instrument? We're not talking professional level here (tho' that wouldn't be turned down...) but if you've got a guitar, drums, violin, piano, keyboard, ANY other instruments we're leaving out (steel drum? sitar? didgeridoo?) PLEASE email Ann our AMS Music Teacher. She would **love** to set up a time for you to come play for the students. PLUS this would go towards your family volunteer hours! Our AMS students would love to see any level of ability: amateur, hobbyist or professional.

Playing music PLUS volunteer hours? Perfect! Please contact Ann at:

Looking for...

Do you know a nanny? An AMS parent is looking for a reliable person to pick up their son from school and care for him for a few hours. Please see Amy at the front desk for details!

Don't forget... in honor of President's Day there is NO school on Monday 2/18.
