1st round Audition sign-up - The Sound of Music
Auditions for this year's production of The Sound of Music are right around the corner! First-round auditions for all Grade 6–12 students will take place right after school on November 9th, 16th, and 17th in either the Theater or the Black Box. This round is specifically for students interested in lead and supporting main characters—ensemble role auditions will be held separately in January.
To prepare, please check the drive link. You will find specific folders for each main character containing their required audition song (with music track) and the selected monologue/dialogue. You must audition using the exact song and script provided for the character you are trying out for, and both must be fully memorized. Make sure to sign up in advance for your preferred audition date on the sign-up sheet provided. Break a leg!

First week of Quarter 2, Middle School is celebrating Spirit Week, and every single student has a role to play! Participating in Spirit Week is a fantastic way to step outside the daily routine, express your creativity, and boost your overall mood. More importantly, it builds a powerful sense of belonging across our entire campus.
When we all join in, it breaks down social barriers between grade levels and reinforces our strong Middle School community. Being an active member of our school means diving in, having fun, and supporting one another.
So don't hold back - dress up, participate each day, and show off your Scorpion pride!

Announcement From the LC
I hope everyone has settled in and gotten back into the swing of things. This is a quick reminder to return any books you borrowed over the summer. If you haven't returned them yet, they are now officially overdue.
Stop by the LC to see Ms. Kelli and me! We would love to help you find a new book, and you can share a summer takeaway or a new school year goal on our display board.
Be sure to check out our LC Resources page! It includes research tools, study tips, and our library catalog so you can browse our collection anytime.
Just a reminder that you are welcome to stop in and check out books during lunch, breaks, and after school. We are always happy to give you suggestions or help you find a book.
We can’t wait to see you!

Things for MS to remember in the cafe:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE DURING LUNCH (not breaks)
This is a quiet area (people 5 meters away should NOT understand your conversation) - this space is very open and noise travels to the Library side which can interrupt learning.
NOTE - On Thursdays, the cafe closes at 3:30 p.m.
"I would like to give a shout-out to Mr. Cool for always making math class more fun and enjoyable! He also makes it engaging which helps me to focus more and to learn in an easier way!"
You & your friends can send us a shout-out for any teacher—just tell us who and why, and you’ll see it pop up in this section soon! 🎉
👉 To do that, just email Ms. Diala at dgammoh@acsamman.edu.jo or swing by her office and share the details!
