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 a Yearbook and Dedication Ad. If your student plans on collecting signatures at the Falcon Festival, 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.
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 Festival, last day of school and more.
