Hello Knight Family:
Oh my word, I can’t remember when ALAH HS has laughed so much and had so much fun! This has been National FFA Week and our FFA provided us with a spirit week. Crazy fun with dress up days and a breakfast for faculty and staff, but the highlight was absolutely ‘Anything But a BackPack Day’ on Wednesday. Our faculty and students are incredibly creative. WOW do we have creative students! The point of the day was to carry anything but a backpack. Here are a few highlights of what we saw carried: drawers, a build-a-bear box, table, coolers, shopping bags and carts, tool boxes, dog crates, cones, a kayak, a concrete block mover and so much more. Equally impressive was the fact that our students stuck with it all day! Make sure to check out the pictures on our social media. What a fun day and certainly a new tradition has begun.
Speaking of traditions, Student Council hosted Winter Follies this afternoon. It was great to be back together in the gym and watch our very talented student body show off! Our MC Jace Green did a great job hosting and kept us laughing between the acts. We had 16 wonderful acts and congratulations to our winners the ALAH Drumline. We are already looking forward to next year.
I think spring is around the corner! The winter weather has been relentless.
Mrs. Seegmiller, #GoKnights
P.S. Don’t forget to complete the 5 Essentials Survey for us. It just takes a few minutes to complete the survey. This survey is one that nearly every high school in Illinois utilizes. Students, teachers and parents each have surveys that ask questions specific to our school. We take your responses seriously and use them to guide our planning for the future. The surveys are anonymous. We only have 11% of our families that have completed so far and our goal is 25%. Here is a link to the Parent 5 Essential Survey.
