Kudos to our AMS WEB leaders and their advisors for organizing the Fifth-Grade Welcome Tours for Smallwood Drive and Windermere Boulevard over the past two Fridays. Today it was Windermere's turn to visit.

Fifth-graders from both elementary schools took a field trip to AMS and worked in small groups with a WEB leader to get a glimpse of what sixth grade will be like.

Mr. Patrick O'Donnell, AMS Orchestra Director, accepted the 2026 Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra/Erie County Music Educators Assn. Award for Excellence in Music Education at Kleinhans Music Hall Saturday evening, May 9.

Congratulations Mr. O'Donnell for this wonderful, well-deserved recognition for your dedication, service, and musical contributions to the Amherst community! BRAVO!

Members of the Amherst Central Music Department were present to celebrate with Mr. O'Donnell on this momentous occasion.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates the contributions and achievements of Western New York’s music educators, administrators, and school music programs. Each year distinguished awards are presented at an evening of celebration at Kleinhans Music Hall. Established in 1994 with the Erie County Music Educators Association, this award recognizes and honors music educators who make possible the progression from the very first note, to the last exquisite tone, as students are nurtured into the musical art.

Washington, D.C. did not disappoint! 🇺🇸 Our 8th graders just wrapped up an incredible annual trip to the nation’s capital.

From standing on the steps of the Capitol Building to the quiet halls of the Library of Congress, our students soaked up so much history. We were also deeply moved by our visit to Arlington National Cemetery. 🕊️ The trip was rounded out by a magical illuminated monument walk and hours of discovery across several museums. 🏛️✨

A massive THANK YOU to our amazing teacher chaperones! This trip wouldn’t be possible without your dedication, supervision, and late-night energy.
