The Azalea Spring Bloom is a family-friendly gala. We will have live music by “One Leg Up”, food and drinks, a silent auction and raffle. For the children, there will be pop-up adventure and puppeteering by world famous Robin Stevens. This will be a beautiful experience for the community as we also celebrate the Spring and the ‘Bloom’ of the season.

Proceeds from this event will directly impact our students and teachers. With your help, we can proceed with improvements to our play spaces, support our dear teachers, provide classroom essentials and facilitate the upcoming expansion of our school.

This is a chance for everyone in the AMS community to put on their cocktail-party attire and bring friends along for a wonderful evening of dancing, entertainment, and camaraderie. Please join us!
