On Wednesday, 7 September, the UAS flew their first paper airplane drones in class. 

After watching a PowerUp drone video, they built their own paper airplanes and as crews of 3 fitted, flew, and observed the drones. 

Their inaugural test flights were successful.

The student's had fun using trial and error to figure out the best way to build their airplanes, so that they could have the best flight time in the air.

 It was fun seeing them learn and seeing them try to beat the other teams.

 It was a great hands' on activity. Thank you Ms. Olsen for always engaging your student's in learning.

In answer to a student's question, " Do teacher's ever eat lunch?"... The answer is , " YES!"

The faculty and staff had their first potluck luncheon last week and it turned out great.

 There is always lots of laughter and great conversations that take place during these scheduled lunch times.

We are so grateful for the faculty and staff we have here at the ALC, and for all that they do to help the students here be the best that they can possibly be.

On Friday, Mr. David Newell came to speak to the ALC's Unmanned Aerial Systems class.

Mr. Newell works for Verizon and started Verizon's UAS division several years ago. 

He talked to the students about current and future UAS technology and the opportunities the students will have in the future.  

He had many exciting stories to tell and was a great resource of knowledge to those students looking for the wide range of options in the Aviation field.

 Thank you for taking time to come and speak to our students, Mr. Newell

At the ALC we have some amazing classes and some amazing teachers.

This month's highlight is of the Teaching as a Profession classes. These classes are taught by Ms. Laurie Hansen.

This two course series is for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of education.

Students in this class have the opportunity to intern in the classroom of an elementary or secondary teacher in the district, giving them opportunities to teach and interact with students.

In this course these students will explore careers in education, and also learn how to form relationships with students, plan lesson and curriculum planning methods, learn great teaching strategies, and also classroom management skills.

Here at the ALC, the Concurrent Enrollment Coordinator, is Ms. Hair.

These past two weeks, Ms. Ronda Hair has been busy trying to make sure that all of the students who would like to take their classes for Concurrent Enrollment, finish all the steps to do that.

Students here at the ALC can take Concurrent Enrollment either through Weber State or UVU, depending where that class is offering CE through them.  

 She has worked diligently helping our students and parents complete all of the admissions and registration process to get it done.

Thank you for all of your hard work. 

Just wanted to remind students, that there is no school on Monday, September 5th in honor of Labor Day

School will resume on Tuesday, September 6th and it will be a "B" day.

Have a safe long weekend, and we will see you Tuesday.

We have had a few changes around the ALC this past year, among those changes are a few new teachers.

 This months "New Teacher Feature" spotlight is our new Criminal Justice/ Law teacher, Mr. Kris Johnson.

 Mr. Johnson sent this bio about himself, so from his own words, meet Mr. Johnson.

I was born and raised in Payson, UT. I am a graduate of Payson High School where Mr. Peery was my soccer coach and French teacher.

I Spent two years in Detroit serving my faith group. Spent nearly 22 years in law enforcement and 26 years in the US Air Force Reserve.

I have owned and operated two businesses and just recently sold our family bike shop (Nebo Peaks Cycles in Payson) after operating it for several years.

We just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to both Jason Hanks, who is now our new Head Custodian, and Karley Jermain who is our new Night Head Custodian.

We are excited to have had them for the past 5 years on our ALC team and feel lucky to have them staying on at the ALC with their new positions.

 They are both amazing at what they do. We are happy for them both.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO YOU BOTH.
