Saturday Crew's Effort This AM

The Saturday crew of  J,D,K,G,&S worked hard this AM to restore the gym to pre-game condition. The gym can get pretty trashy after a Friday night game that included a packed house.  Also, since we had time, we recycled all the plastic bottles we could find! All the sweeping, cleaning, recycling, and trash hauling took 51 minutes. Another great effort. PS..check out the the way the sunlight plays in the gym this early.

Basketball, Junior Cheer/Dance, & Chili

Tonight the Warriors host North Mac. The AEA is having a chili supper as well. At half time of the JV game, junior cheer/dance will perform.

This is a jam packed week of athletics at AHS. Monday the girls hosted IC. Tonight the boys travel to Mt. P and the girls go there on Thursday. Also tonight, the scholastic bowl team travels to N. Mac.  Friday the boys play @ Riverton.  Saturday is Mega-Night. The creation of former AD Chip Jamerson, Mega-Night includes 4 bb games starting @ 3pm. We will host MWC for gjv, bjv, gv,& bv.  Between the jvb and the vg game we will recognize the 7th grade girls bb team for their 3rd place state finish.  Hope to see you there!

Watching a former student @ Shirk Center

Olivia Lett is a former student of mine from Pana IL. She is a senior at Illinois Wesleyan. She is averaging 20 pts per night.  The Titans are leading by 11 @ half.  Btw.. No KJ sighting yet. The Athens grad and track standout may be in the house tonight also...

No School Today!

Looks like a long wintery weekend for all of us. Students have 4 days off now.  I will see you all back on Tuesday.  If you are a fan of snow, cold temps,& high winds  -  have fun outside today. 

Farthest Away Reader To Date

I received a very nice email today from a blog follower in Italy. Italy would probably take the Farthest Away Reader Award.  If I ever make to Italy for the Giro, I might now have an insider to show me where to get the best cappuccino!

Hope you enjoyed the mild weekend

I hope you spent some time outside this weekend. While the trails were a bit sloppy today, Saturday was beautiful.  The weather appears to be changing a bit. I hope we get some more of what we have had the past week!

Proud Dad

On Friday, my daughter Emma out lasted 9 other C I S students to win the 2012 Geography Bee. Pretty exciting stuff in the home of a former social studies teacher!

Even detentions can be beneficial

A thank you from the Lions Club to the Saturday Detention crew for their assistance before Christmas.  We try to make discipline a learning experience.
