Congratulations to everyone involved in our 2025 Annual Veterans Day Program!
A special thanks to Mrs. Courtney and Mr. Cauthen for all their hard work in organizing the event, and to all the businesses and individuals who donated to support our Veterans luncheon.
This whole-school program incorporates the Arts to help students express learning and understanding. In Social Studies and Science classes, students explored Veterans Day through South Carolina standards.
8th Grade Social Studies (Ms. Neal): Students wrote historically accurate letters based on a video prompt about life on the front lines.
Other Social Studies Classes: Mrs. Mize’s students created timeline projects, Mr. Steele’s 6th graders wrote about what freedom means to them, and Mr. Hanna’s 7th graders wrote letters to Veterans.
Science Classes: Ms. Dabney’s 6th graders connected their heat transfer unit to technologies that keep troops cool and allow planes to fly supersonic. Ms. Hilton’s 8th graders learned about SONAR technology used by Navy submarines (SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging).
The student-led program featured Julieanne Pittman as Master of Ceremonies, who did an amazing job! We also had readers from Science and English classes, plus 24 student leaders nominated by their grade-level teachers.

Our annual Veterans Day program will be on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 10 am in the VPAC. Parents and the community are invited to attend. This coming week, students will bring home a form asking about veterans in their families. Pictures will be added to our Wall of Veterans, and addresses will be used to send an invitation to attend. This is an outstanding thing our school does for the community, and we hope you will join us as we salute our veterans!

On October 18th, Focus Chorus and Focus Theatre students went to the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center to see the HIT Broadway show, Wicked. This was an awesome opportunity to see LIVE professional theatre and be inspired by the performances of others. In a world that is readily supplied with recorded performances, experiencing something LIVE has such an academic impact! Great opportunities abound in the Fine Arts Focus Program at AJMS! Like the theme of Wicked, it is "For Good."
