A new club opportunity for AMS students will begin next week. On Monday, we will have a new public speaking club! If you are looking for a place to practice your skills in a safe environment, this is a great opportunity for you. The first meeting will take place on February 2 in the library at 3:15. 

To make breakfast even more fun, we are hosting Lucky Ticket Days. On random days, random tickets and stickers will be placed inside Grab &Go breakfast bags and on serving boats in the cafeteria.

 How it works:

• Students must come down and receive breakfast

• Some breakfasts will include a lucky ticket or sticker

• Students who find one can redeem it for one FREE snack

Breakfast helps students start the day focused, energized, and ready to learn plus, who doesn’t love a little surprise?

The Yearbook Staff proudly presents our 2026 Yearbook Spirit Day!  Join us on January 29 for SOUND WAVES day!  Inspired by our "Sound Wave" yearbook design, SOUNDWAVES day is a day to celebrate music and musical styles. Get those crazy bell bottoms on for Disco, tie a flannel around your waist for grunge, get your cowboy gear for country, maybe some leg warmers for 80's pop!  You get the idea!  Prizes will be awarded for participation and creative costumes!  Remember, January 29 is SOUNDWAVES DAY!  And while you're thinking of your next spirit day costume, don't forget to order your 2026 Yearbook today!  The link to order can be found on the Abington Middle School Main Page!  Thanks and see you on Soundwaves day!

The book of the day for today is called Serendipity Market by Penny Blubaugh.

When the world begins to seem unbalanced, Mama Inez calls ten storytellers to the Serendipity Market and, through the power of their magical tales, the balance of the world is corrected once again.
