Mrs. Hada’s 7th grade students had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Ledbetter’s Pre-K class to read with them!
Our AMS students did a wonderful job sharing stories, modeling strong reading skills, and building connections with the youngest learners in our district. The smiles, laughter, and excitement over books made it such a special time for everyone involved. 📚💛

The AHS Band of Gold visited Lincoln Elementary to perform for the 5th graders and hosted an “Instrument Petting Zoo,” giving students the opportunity to see, touch, and try out a variety of instruments. It was a fun and interactive way to introduce them to the world of band and music! 🎶

Big news at Alva Middle School! 🎉
We’re excited to share that AMS has started FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes)! FCA is a completely optional organization and is not just for athletes—all students are welcome. It’s a positive, encouraging space focused on faith, leadership, and building strong character.
FCA takes place during lunch once a week. We’ve been blown away by the response, with around 65 students attending each week! It’s been awesome to see students come together to support and encourage one another.

The Gold Rush! Show Choir performed for the fifth grade class at Lincoln on Thursday, February 4th.
Although they were missing some singers, fun was had, and songs were shared!
Fifth grade students were able to see the AHS show choir perform their competition set.
The choir hopes that fifth grade students will consider signing up for choir at AMS next year!
The show choirs kick off their competition season next week and will travel to Duncan.
