PENNY WARS AT ALC

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 11/14/2017 - 11:02

ALC Penny Wars have begun.   Our goal is to raise $250 to buy an “ALC 2017-2018” brick in support of the Gail S. Halvorsen Aviation Education Center at the Spanish Fork Airport.  We are so excited that Spanish Fork is honoring one of their own with this new Aviation Center. With our new Aviation Program here at the ALC, the students and faculty want to be a part of this awesome bit of history. We are trying to raise enough money to purchase a brick to put in the construction of this new center.  The students will go up against the faculty and staff to see who can raise the most during the penny wars.  LET THE PENNY WARS BEGIN!

SO BRING YOUR SPARE CHANGE AND LET'S MAKE IT SO WE'RE  A PART OF THIS HISTORY!

We were so surprised to see a familiar face today. Our Principal from last year, Mr. Wade Tischner came by to say hello while he is home in between one of his training sessions. He leaves for another one on Monday.

He graduated WOSC and WOBC recently in Virgina. He will be deployed to the Middle East in March.

What a fitting day to be visited by this amazing man.....on the day we are celebrating Veterans day at our school.

It was so cute to see how happy his darling, little, daughter Lizzy was to have her dad home. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS THAT WE ENJOY, WADE.

 GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO SERVE SO WILLINGLY!

Visitors and Story telling in ALC History Classes

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Mon, 11/06/2017 - 10:15

Recently the History classes here at the ALC had some people from history visit. These visitors gave stories and details of their lives. Some were quite elaborately dressed for their time period.

They also had a week of storytelling where different groups told their version of history with whatever props they had on hand. 

It was fun to see the creativeness the students used in recreating History.

Psychology Sensory Day

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Mon, 11/06/2017 - 10:03

If you were to walk through the halls here at the ALC, you would very likely hear excitement and learning coming from Mrs. Keetch's classroom.  There is always something going on in her classes.

Recently Mrs. Keeetch's Psychology classes held a " Sensory Day". There were different stations set up around the room targeting different sensory stimulators. The students had fun learning and walked away from the "Sensory Day" with a different perspective on how things work.

We are very lucky to have Cici Keetch here along with her fun way of learning.
