It’s coming along… 🎨
A team of Student Artists are tackling this monster of a mural on our main hall, and we are tickled at how far it has come! Can’t wait to see this mural finished - anyone know where I can get a plaque to mount the names of the student artists who are working so tirelessly on our main hallway mural? Tag local businesses in the comments if there’s someone local who can hook us up!

We are very proud of all of our Ayden-Grifton attendance area choral students and programs! What a fabulous night of making music! Thank you AES for hosting the spectacular event and thank you Grifton and Ayden-Grifton for sharing in such a wonderful night. We are all very grateful for the support of our community and look forward to when we can do this again. Be sure to check out all of our schools upcoming concerts and watch all of these talented kiddos perform again!

Also, be sure to wish the AMS and Grifton chorus Les best of luck as Grifton travels to Busch gardens on May 1st and AMS goes on May 2nd for the Music in the Parks festivals!
