Hello Knight Family:
It’s fundraiser time! All of our high school students are selling discount cards packed with awesome deals from tons of local businesses—the perfect way to save money while supporting our kids. Each card is just $20, and with every one sold, students earn $10 toward their senior trip. Even better news —the discounts are good all the way through October 2026! Don’t wait—orders are due by Thursday, September 19th. Find an ALAH HS Knight or call the office at 217-543-2146. You may also order online at www.ruthieanddanafundraising.com.
Does your student need a little extra help in math or English? The Math & Writing Center at ALAH is here to help! It is open every day during our 8th-hour study hall in the library. The center is staffed with peer coaches as well as our math and English teachers. Students may sign up for an appointment using the link in the announcements or the quick link in their bookmarks tab. It’s a great way to get individual help, boost confidence, and stay on top of assignments!
Mark your calendars! On Monday, September 8, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 p.m., Parkland College will host the Illinois Regional College Fair, bringing together over 65 colleges and universities under one roof. This free event is a fantastic way to gather the latest information from schools your student may be interested in. It’s never too early to start exploring future opportunities, but for parents of juniors and seniors, this fair is especially valuable. Register here for this free event.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Seegmiller
