Welcome back to the AMS staff crew! 💫

We kicked off today with an incredible staff session led by Chris Littlefield, focusing on genuine recognition, meaningful connections, and building an inspiring culture together.

Chris reminded us that small, intentional moments of appreciation can create a massive shift in team momentum, and that strong communities always start with simple, everyday conversations. We are walking away with concrete, practical tools to support one another, keep our energy high, and put these insights into action every single day as we work together to help our students succeed.

Huge thank you to Chris Littlefield for bringing such great perspective and positive energy to our school community! 🚀 ✨
