Congratulations to our AMS homerun hero who not only recently "knocked it out of the park" on the softball field, but also on the Greater Richmond Convention Center stage this past weekend as a member of the 2024 All-Virginia ACDA Middle School Honor Choir. Karly Jenkins was selected by audition back in February to represent the Appomattox Middle School Chorus at this weekend's event. Students spent three days rehearsing with a guest director from Missouri, and presented their concert Saturday night to a packed house. The concert was so impressive that the choir received standing ovations throughout the concert program performance. Great job representing the AMS Raiders so proudly, Karly!
