BYU Fine Arts & Poet Laureate
ALC’s Film and Video Production students visited BYU’s Fine Arts Center last Friday. They were able to tour the film classes, set construction workshops, editing labs, animation labs, theaters, and prop and costume collections.
They were also lucky enough to attend a poetry reading by Robert Pinsky, three-time U.S. Poet Laureate. After his reading, Robert spoke about the creative process and life as a working artist and scholar. What a fantastic experience these students had!
The Leonardo
Health Science students visited The Leonardo museum yesterday. From ALC 33 students attended; and from PHS HOSA 22 students attended. Everyone was able to see the Body Works: Cycle of Life exhibit wherein plasticized body parts and cross-sections of organs were on display. Additionally, healthy and unhealthy bodies were compared. What a great experience in learning these students had!

This could be on a certain day and time, or the challenge could be thoughout the year. The entries must be sent to the State IT department by April 2015. The IT Challenge is a free MTA testing day. Normally the tests are $70 each. At the ALC, the challenge will be available thoughout the year. We invite those who wish to compete to email Mr.
