Make your 8th Grade Payment. Lots of fun is planned for the 8th graders, so please purchase your student's cost of the trip to Knott's Berry and the Falcon Fiesta. This is returned with your permission form. This is managed by the front office, through the AOMS Webstore.
Buy your 8th Grade Add-ons. These are additional items available through the PTSA Website and are optional fundraisers. Items available are Yard Signs, Leis for the promotion ceremony, and Shirts. This is managed by the PTSA.
Buy a Yearbook and Dedication Ad. If your student plans on collecting signatures at the Falcon Fiesta, don't miss out on getting them yearbook. Dedication Ads in the yearbook are also available for purchase. This is managed by the AOM Yearbook Club.
End of year (April/May):
Sign up to volunteer. If you are able, please give some of your time to assist with making this day extra special for all 8th graders. Volunteers are needed at the Falcon Fiesta, last day of school and more.
