IS SANTA REAL

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Fri, 12/21/2018 - 10:33

The office ladies had the cutest visitor yesterday that came into the office.   She came to ask us the age-old question of, " Is Santa Real"?

That of course was an easy question for us to answer because the "Big Man's" office is housed here at the ALC!

She was able to see first hand that he is real and very busy.

Alyvia, was made an honorary elf and given her very own elf hat by one of Santa's helpers.

 

THANK YOU ALYVIA FOR BRINGING THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS TO THE ALC AS SEEN THROUGH A CHILD'S EYE'S!!!

The Santa Countdown Begins

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Thu, 12/13/2018 - 14:35

If you want to know if you are on the "Naughty List" or the "Nice List", all you need to do is come to the ALC.

Santa is sitting in his office that is housed here making his list. 

The students have been having a grand time, checking the list, and checking it twice, to make sure they are on the "NICE" list.  A few of us at the ALC may be in trouble because we have somehow managed to make it on the  "Naughty" List. (We will not name names, but they are aware of their status in Santa's eyes right now.)

Hopefully, before Christmas, they can get that changed so they do not receive coal in their stockings.

Top That Christmas Tree Competition

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Thu, 12/13/2018 - 12:59

The ALC has a competition going on that has been very fun watching evolve. On each side of the school, there is a Christmas tree set up for the different classes located on that side to decorate as a team. The students were supposed to come up with decorations that either represented their class, or that was made as a result of something they could use in their class. It has been very fun to see the creativeness that the students have had.

The Custodians and sweepers even got involved and ended up with a very clever, and well thought out tree. Spearheaded by Jason Hanks, they came up with a real winner of what we've entitled the "Bucket tree". It has many clever decorations, especially the star they fashioned out of janitorial supplies.

ALC Tours Microsoft Building

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 12/04/2018 - 20:37

The ALC students were able to go and tour the Microsoft building. The students were not able to tour the building, but see everyday workings going on, and ask questions.

It was a very informative field trip for these students.

Thank you to Microsoft for allowing these students this opportunity.

Creative Corsage

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 12/04/2018 - 20:13

Creative ALC student Kieran Grant put in over time to create a one of a kind corsage for his prom date.

Kieran 3-D printed the corsage and then hand painted the details. His date was very impressed by his work.

Way to go Kieran.  Way to show us what can happen when you use you imagination and the resources here at the ALC.
