To celebrate Constitution Day 2022, Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Fornusek's classes worked on imagining situations where there were no laws, rules, or government. Then, scholars were able to draft their own preamble to their classroom constitutions. On Monday, scholars will be drafting their bill of rights as students at Pine Avenue Elementary.
Spirit week is next week! Get ready to celebrate AHS Homecoming!
