May 2018

As the school year starts to end, we get to see the fruits of the students labors.  This year was no exception of the caliber that the ALC and its students bring to Nebo School District. They never cease to amaze us with the oustanding things they have done over the course of the school year.

One of these examples came to pass this past week during the Utah Digital Media Arts Festival at UVU. Our amazing students from both, Mr. Arnold's class, and Mr. Powell's class came home with most of the awards!!

The students and the peices they entered are as follows:

From Mr. Brandon Arnold's class:

Calling all Juniors and Seniors for 2018-2019 school year. If you have good grades, good attendance and have currently taken or are enrolled in a CTE related class, internships may be another option for you.

Internships give students the opportuniy to explore carrers they are interested in, learn a variety of skills under the guidance of adult mentors, workin teams, solve problems, meet employers' expectations and create professional relationships. 

To apply for an internship complete the application below and either submit to your school's counseling office or email it to:  chris.thomas [at] nebo.edu

ALC has a new addition in our new building, and we are so excited for what this means for all of the students that this new addition will affect.  A redbird MCX full motion simulator, with a wrap around visual, configured as a Cessna 172 with traditional round gauges was brought and installed here at our school. Additionally four Redbird Jay Velocity PC type flight training devices have been purchased for the aviation program. For the 2018/2019 school year a Flight Simulator Course and Air Transportation Management will be added to the curriculum. All that is pretty exciting to the student’s and enrollment in the aviation program is forecast to grow to 132 students.

WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!! 

ALC students, Tyler Austin, Isaac Hodson and Jesse Garcia, completed a mini documentary for Building Beginnings and Division of Workforce Services.  

Building Beginnings is a nonprofit organization designed to help those in recovery from drugs and alcohol.  They provide employment, transportation to work, case management, affordable housing, and out-patient treatment  for those dedicated to staying sober, working hard, and supporting the team.  This documentary will be used by the company to promote their non-profit efforts and by DWS to demonstrate the success of the business to encourage other business owners to work towards a similar approach to highering.

We have the most AMAZING TEACHERS here at the ALC. This week we wanted to honor them. We have had treats, dinners, signs and many other gifts to give them. We want to let them know that we appreciate all the effort and time that they put into the building of their students knowledge and hands-on learning experience to help them in the future. You will constantly see many of the teachers after hours helping a sudent that may be struggling or need extra help with a project. They always take time to help any and all students.

Shout out to our teachers: Alan Albright, Brandon Arnold, Rob Eastmond, Natalie Grant, Sherri Gurley, Tom Hawks, Mark Halls, CiCi Keetch, Khristen Massic, Preston Powell, Eddie Rawlings, Mark Robinson & Gerald Talbot

Caitlin Slade in Ms. Keetch's History Class, was excited when they started talking about the Vietnam War. She was excited because she has grown up hearing stories about that war, and she knows personally, a very special person, who gave time out of his life to serve our country in that horrible war.  That special person is her grandfather, James Slade.

 Code Camp was this past month and many of our students from the ALC attended. Code Camp is sponsored by the Mountainland CTE region, MTech, and Xactware. The students had 24 hours to design an application, create it, and  on top of all that, have working a working prototype.

The ALC Students were able to attend the Utah High School Film Festival this past month. 

It was fun to see all of the entries from students around Utah. Our ALC classes walked away with some awards as well.

1st place award for comedy went to Simon Garner & Jaydon Hill.

3rd Place to Tyler Austin, Isaac Hodsen & Jesse Garcia for their documentary "Building Beginnings".

Nani Carson  & Ladd Davis Received and Honorable Mention.

And The Music Video "Mind Craft Funk also received an Honorable mention.

WAY TO GO STUDENTS!!

(Thank you Adrianne for braving TRAX to get our students to the awards.)

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus rolled into the Parking Lot of the ALC  bright and early at 6 am this morning.   The students and faculty here at the ALC were very excited to have the privelege of having the bus on our home turf.

 The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus presented by OWC is a non-profit outreach program established twenty-one years ago with the mission of giving youth a chance to express themselves through music, video and broadcast productions. It has been a living legacy to John Lennon's passion for musical expression and artistic freedom.

At a time when music education in the schools is facing togh funding challenges The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has been a rolling testament to the enduring, positive power of music making.
