Today in #MSM19 we worked on our public speaking skills calling our local hotel industry for information on the jobs created in the industry. Students are also tracking the transit system in the city and comparing it to the areas that people live and work. #COUGARPRIDE #TheACSWay

Another day, another visit to one of Asheville’s largest employers. Thank you Eaton for welcoming AMS students in your facility! Students were excited to learn about the numerous job opportunities that exist in their own community. #MSM19 #CougarPride #theACSway

Pre history of The Castle On the Hill, Stephens-Lee. “A curriculum built around dignity, self help, and Shakespeare.” Plan on it being passed along to students in 2019-2020 #MSM19 Asheville Middle School

As 99 Percent Invisible says “always read the plaque.” A few of the plaques #MSM19 6th-graders have discovered on their journey. #AshevilleHistory #BlackAsheville #BlackHistoryMatters #CougarPride #theACSway bit.ly/2scT07m

Really hate I missed this! Looks like a great experience. Thanks for taking the time for our kids, our community, and our past Benne on Eagle #ExamineThePast #ChangeTheFuture #MSM19 #CougarPride #theACSway

Personal Post: Land in Denver, train to Union Station, sit down to breakfast, have first human interaction which is followed by, “can I attempt to geolocate your accent?” Is it really that bad? #SouthernProblems #WestoftheMississippi #HeWasWayOff

Thursday theme clue: oldest. Team work at the plaque to think of hard listening comprehension questions for our group. Jarred, our young tour guide in Shiloh, said: “If you know enough about your community there’s a lot you can do.” #truth #yourstorymatters Asheville Middle School Hood Huggers

6th graders Asheville Middle School request: Instead of *no* mention of “The Block,” @ChstowneHotels please give tribute. And Buxton Hall Barbecue please trade out roller skates hanging from rafters for a plaque acknowledging the African American history-not just a “wood-floored roller skating rink.”

Things were learned, but most importantly, community was built on our first day back! Check out the fun that was had during Extreme Rock Paper Scissors! The defeated, and their squad, become the cheering section of the winner until the final faceoff! #CougarPride #TheACSway

Poor quality video, high quality dancing!! Energetic start to the year at the ACS Curriculum Conference. #CougarPrideAVL #theACSway

Amazing job by Asheville Middle School staff AMS AVID Chelsea Barolet and Savanah Forsythe leading “What’s love got to do with it.” I even learned some Avid strategies along the way. #CougarPrideAVL #theACSway

Meet the Teacher was a huge success! We’re already a well-oiled 6th grade machine! #CougarPrideAVL #theACSway

Grateful for everyone that helped make this happen! I’m so lucky to be at Asheville Middle School, it just feels right. First day for kids, let’s get it!! #CougarPrideAVL #theACSway

Thanks for capturing my first “administrative talk” April Worley Collins. I learned all my good AP qualities from you!
