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.

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.

The Students of Ms. Grant's  medical Forensics classes learned the depth and characteristics of fingerprinting. 

 It was a very informative lab where the students learned that no two fingerprints are the same. It was an indepth lab showing how every line in a fingerprint can be distingushed enough to make a person in question help get identified. 

Once again, Thank you for giving the students in your classes such hands-on learning activites.
