Phoenix,
AZ, USA -- For 16 years, the dedicated team at the Academies
of Math and Science has accomplished much from
being recognized as the 2016 Arizona Charter School of the Year, to
receiving the National Blue Ribbon award, to being the #1 and #2
rated K-8 schools in the area by 5-star GreatSchools parent reviews.
This fall the fifth AMS campus, Academy of Math and Science Desert
Sky, will open at McDowell & 59th Ave.
AMS
Desert Sky will hold a New Student Registration event in partnership
with the radio station 103.5 LA TRICOLOR on Saturday, December 16th,
2017 at 5757 W McDowell Rd. The event will run from 10 am to 2 pm,
starting with speeches from the founding principal and teachers and
followed by lunch, music, and kid-friendly activities. Parents will
have the opportunity for one-on-one enrollment consultations with the
administrative team while children play on an inflatable obstacle
course.
With
an anticipated attendance of several hundred families, the event will
be an excellent opportunity to meet members of the community and talk
with AMS staff members and parents. TRICOLOR will hold a raffle, and
AMS swag will be given to all attendees, as well as polos for all
students registered on-site.
