An ALC Open House To Remember!

Submitted by amy.ewell on

A huge thank you to everyone who made the ALC open house a success!  From prospective students to parents, siblings, and current students our building was overflowing with interest in the amazing courses available at The Advanced Learning Center.  Mr. Eastmond had his First Robotics club entertaining the masses, popcorn was served by Mrs. Ewell, and swag was provided by the U.S. Air Force Academy and Utah Valley University.  It was a fun and informational two days with teachers welcoming all into their classrooms to spotlight their programs and hands-on curriculum.

CARPETS, VICTIMS , FORENSICS

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

 

A murder victim was discovered along a roadside.  Police recovered carpet samples from the victim’s body.  It is speculated that the victim was brought to the location using a car belonging to one of the suspects.  Some of the carpet fibers from the floor of the car were transferred to the victim’s body.  Your task is to determine if the fiber found on the victim’s body is consistent with one of the carpet fibers taken from the cars of four different suspects.

The ALC's Aviation classes had the opportunity to hear presentations and ask questions from 2Lt Derrick Dye from Hill Air Force Base. 

2Lt Dye is a recent graduate of the US Air Force Academy and is the current USAFA liaison for Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Washington.  He was able to tell the students about the educational opportunities at USAFA and how students can apply if they are interested in attending college there.  He also told the students about his recent experiences beginning to fly in the Air Force.

Students take to the Air with Paper

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

The Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones) class has been learning the FAA regulations to fly UAS.  At the end of the course, the students will be able to take their FAA Remote Pilot License Test.

This past week the students from the Aviation class took a break from the book work to learn about the forces that allow aircraft to fly and experiment with paper airplane drones. 

The students designed their own paper airplanes and then fitted them with PowerUp 3.0 drones. 

It was fun to see the students quickly realize what designs help airplanes to fly and what doesn't work.  

What a fun activity for these students.

 Thank you Tammy Olsen for giving our ALC students such a fun, hands-on experience.

HAPPY SCHOOL COUNSELORS WEEK

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

Many students don't have the smoothest experience when going through school. That's where a school counselor comes into play—helping to ease students of all levels (from elementary school to college) through these often rocky years.

School counselors are trained to give valuable assistance to students, helping them with their academic goals, as well as their social, personal, and career development. With their help, students can navigate problems a bit easier and with confidence.

Here at the ALC, we have amazing counselors.

Natalie Grant is the ALC student school counselor and Danny Lundell is the N.O.L.S counselor and the MTTS specialist.

We are so lucky to have them here and so glad they are part of the ALC team.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!
