Howdy AMP families and students, We had a great start to the 2019-2020 school year and I want to thank you for choosing the Agriscience Magnet Program as students and families. We have another amazing year planned and look forward to the great things to come over the next year. The following are important events and happenings for the week of August 26th. Tip of the Week On Friday, August 23rd, returning AMP students received a 2019-2020 AMP Student Contract, and if applicable, 2019-2020 CTE Transfer Request Form so that these documents can be up-to-date. It is very important that these documents be returned promptly to the AMP office. 2019-2020 James Madison FFA Dues One of the expectations for every AMP student is to be an active participant in the AMP. Active participation can be achieved by becoming a member of the James Madison FFA (the student leadership organization for AMP students) and participating in any of the literally 100+ FFA activities that will be offered this school year. FFA dues are $20.00 for the entire school year and we are accepting dues payments (cash or check) in the AMP Administration office. FFA Friday Presentations Periodically throughout the school year, the AMP will hold FFA Fridays in which AMP students attend a presentation or seminar by the AMP staff sharing timely information. The first FFA Friday for the school year was held on August 23rd and the presentation can be found below for parents and students to review the information. FFA Livestock Project T-shirts, Show Team Jackets & Vests, and Senior T-shirts The James Madison FFA Booster Club is currently taking orders until September 13th for this year's editions of livestock project t-shirts, show team jackets & vests, and Class of 2020 t-shirts. Order forms are available below for download. Senior Scholarship Information Text Message Group Senior AMP students and their parents/guardians are encouraged to sign up for the Senior Scholarship Information text message group administered by Mr. Anderson. This text message group will keep seniors informed about scholarship opportunities and meetings throughout this school year. To sign up, text @ampscholar to 81010. LDE/CDE Opportunities for Students Leadership Development Events (LDE) and Career Development Events (CDE) are excellent opportunities for students to engage in competitive contests through the FFA. The following interest meetings are being held in the coming weeks to give students information about specific events and to establish practice times for this semester. Also, you can refer to the FFA Friday Presentation below for more specific information.
