Weekend Update Shield

Hello Knight Family:  

We have had a tough week in the halls of ALAH.  The loss of Coach Lane on Monday took our breath away.  He was a big part of many of our student athletes and countless members of our  faculty/staff’s lives - way beyond the softball diamond. Tonight at the football game we will join with Sullivan in remembering him before the kick-off. 

And speaking of our football game, there is a lot happening.  ALAH and Sullivan are both fighting for the Lincoln Prairie Conference Championship. Of course our concession stand will be selling burgers, hot dogs and pulled pork nachos.  It is looking like it will be a great Friday night in Arthur!

  • 5:30 p.m. Gates and concession stand open 

  • 6:25 Scoreboard Dedication

  • 6:30 Recognition of our football, golf, cross country, cheer and marching band seniors   

  • 6:45 Marching Band Pregame

  • 6:50 Honoring Coach Lane

  • 7:00 Kick-off

Our Active Intruder Drill is scheduled for Tuesday, October 24th.  You should have received an email with specific information about the drill and we will send you a text reminder on Monday that it is happening.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me.  We hope this is a drill that we never ever have to utilize.

Have you scheduled your parent teacher conference? It is not too late!  They are Wednesday, October 25 and Thursday, October 26 from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m.  To make your appointments login into your Skyward account and click on the tile that says “Conferences.”  You can schedule time with every teacher as you wish.  We are able to offer conferences in person, by phone or through Google Meets. If you opt to have your meetings over the phone or through Google Meets access information will be added in Skyward closer to the conference.  Just check back in Skyward and that information will be provided.  If you prefer you can call 543-2146 and we will assist you with scheduling. 

We have several important events coming up and invite you to mark your calendar and plan to join us.  

  • On Tuesday, October 31 our Student Council will sponsor their annual Halloween Costume contest.  Rules and details are coming soon, but the most important part is that there are prizes!

  • Thursday, November 2nd at 6 p.m. Dr. Steve Webb, best-selling author,  will be discussing how parents can protect their children in a violent world and how to keep your children safe on the internet and social media. This event is free and open to parents, students and community members. Pizza and drinks will be provided from 5:00-5:45. Please RSVP by Tuesday, October 31 using this link: https://forms.gle/9fyACaXjgtQJcoM88.  I cannot think of a more relevant or important topic than internet safety and our students.

  • Friday, November 10th we will  be honoring our Veterans with a luncheon and all school assembly.  Watch for more details including telling us about your local veterans.  

We still have discount cards available! They are $20 each and have so many deals on them that can be used again and again.  For example there is $5 off at the Homestead Bakery, Yoder’s, Paulys, LaCascada, and Kaskaskia Country Club.  Plus there are deals at Yeakley’s Auto Body, Graber Building Supplies, Frenchies, Dick’s Pharmacy, Beachy’s, Monicals, Elevate Trampoline Park and SO SO MUCH MORE!  Call the office to get yours before they are all gone.  We have sold just under 1000 cards and have approximately 160 cards left, please help us spread the word! Once they are gone they are gone so get yours before it's too late.
