We're Back!

Well, school is open and running as normal as can be expected after a 3 day lay-off in the middle of the week. Many students commented on "finally" being back. There is a bit of socialization-withdraw that takes place when routines with specific people (friends and classmates) are interrupted without warning. I am sure that a 1 day fix prior to the weekend will cure any ill effects they were feeling. My offer to use Saturday to get caught up wasn't well received :) Have a great weekend. PS: Latest forecasts have anywhere from 2-5 inches of snow headed our way Sun-Tues. Central Illinois weather - give 5 minutes and it will change!

Mr. Jamerson Continues to Enhance the Athletic Department

Mr. Jamerson made use of a little down time to create an AHS Athletics Blog. Check out the link on the Principal's Page or the HS homepage. You will find up to the minute schedule changes and other useful posts. You can also follow game updates on Twitter and Facebook. Mr. Jamerson has added technology to his many roles at AHS. I hope you all take advantage of this new outlet for AHS sports information. Thanks Mr. J.

SNOW DAY

This morning it didn't look like the blizzard was coming. As of now, it is about noon and the snow has been falling about 3 hours and the wind has picked-up. I hope that all of you are making the most of your snow day (provided you didn't have to work). We are trying to make the most of it. We made a real breakfast for once @ our house. Now, we are finally taking time to help Emma with a few of those "crafty" time-consuming Christmas gifts that she received pleny of. Painting pottery bowls is the current activity. We will probably move on to finishing the latch-hook pot-holder later :) The rest of the day will be spent on family movies, PlayStation 3 throw-downs and college basketball on TV. Stay tuned for any info about school tomorrow. Have a great day!

Cheerleaders to State!

This afternoon our cheerleading squad competed in a qualifying competition for State. The girls have been practicing their routine for months. They narrowly missed making it to state last year. This year they qualified! Congrats to coach Bock and the girls. More info to follow soon.

Pink Night @ AHS

Come out to AHS tonight and help the Lady Warriors support cancer awareness. Our girls will be wearing their pink uniforms to show their support and are asking you to wear pink also. This was great event last year. The students and fans really got behind the idea. We are hoping for more of the same this year. The girls host Mt. Pulaski in a conference showdown. The team sold pink t-shirts for tonight's contest. Come out tonight and support two great causes: Cancer Awareness and your Lady Warriors!
