Friends of American Martyrs School surpassed our 2011 goal and raised $105,000 to enhance our school music program, provide another year of our school counselor, and funding for teacher aides. For those of you who may be new to the school, Friends of AMS is a parent-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to benefit American Martyrs School. Each year we ask parents for a voluntary, tax-deductible contribution to our annual campaign that focuses on a specific project to improve our school.

What is self-esteem? It is the belief or collection of beliefs about oneself. We begin formulating our self-esteem very early in life, as early as infancy. We learn to develop our sense of self by attempting tasks, failing and learning how to succeed by trying again. Children also base their self-concepts off of their interactions with others, which start with their relationships with their parents. Feeling loved and supported on top of feeling capable are a great recipe for positive self-esteem. Thus, parental involvement is very important in developing a healthy self-esteem and an accurate reflection of ourselves.
