Howdy AMP families and students,

The following are important events and happenings for the week of April 27th.

Livestock Show Premium Check Distribution - Monday, April 27th
AMP staff will be distributing payment checks earned by students that exhibited livestock at the 2019 North East Ag Fair Livestock Show, Bexar County Jr. Livestock Show, San Angelo Livestock Show, San Antonio Livestock Show, and the Houston Livestock Show on Monday, April 27th from 11:00am to 1:00pm - curbside distribution in the AMP main parking lot.

Students must pay any outstanding obligations to the FFA chapter before livestock payment checks will be released to the student. Students may contact Mrs. Fuller ([email protected]) or their livestock supervisor to find out if they owe any obligations. Obligation payments must be paid by cash or check in the exact amount only (we will not be able to provide change for cash payments).

Staff will also be distributing payment checks for any livestock sold at public auction.

2020 AMP Awards Application
As we do at the end of each school year, the AMP recognizes student achievements from throughout the school year in many different areas. Typically, this recognition is done at the annual AMP Awards Gala but due to the COVID-19 situation, we will not be able to have our traditional large gathering for the gala.

Regardless of the current COVID-19 situation in our community and country, the AMP would still like to recognize the efforts and achievements by students and we are planning a virtual recognition ceremony to do this (more details to come).

The 2020 AMP Awards Application is now available for students to apply to 37 different award categories for recognition. For a student to be considered for any of the award categories, they must check the award area that they are applying for and briefly explain why they should receive the award. Students may apply for multiple award categories, however, must submit a separate award application for each category.

Award applications must be submitted online through the following link and are due by May 1, 2020: https://forms.gle/dSJM2xTMdoCUFjLs6
