Dear Knight Families,
We often talk about the many things happening at ALAH beyond the classroom, and this past week and the week ahead are no exception! From community service and school spirit to honoring veterans, the arts, and athletics, there is always something happening. It is exactly what being a Knight is all about!
Every Knight is required to complete at least two service hours each year, for a total of eight hours before graduation. Mrs. Hart regularly sends service hour opportunities to your student's email, and this month is loaded with opportunities, including helping with Turkey Bingo tonight! Please encourage your student to take advantage of these opportunities and find a way to give back to our community. (More information is their email.) Are you wondering if your student has completed their hours? You can check the tile on Skyward labeled Community Service Hours.
On Monday, we played a school-wide game of "Delay Flex!" The Flex class that collected the most change won donuts on Wednesday AND another free day during Flex! School wide we collected $319.62 to support our local fire departments through our Knight Nation Gives Thanks campaign! Congratulations to Mrs. Tinkle's Flex class for bringing in $82.14. Yes, it took them the entire class period to count it all! We love seeing a little friendly competition turn into something that makes a BIG difference in our community! We will continue to collect for our local fire departments all month. Students should watch their emails for our next round of “Delay Flex!”
On Wednesday, we will host our Veterans Day Program at 1:15 p.m. All families and community members are invited to join us as we recognize and honor those who have served our country. Our band, choirs, and FFA will all be part of the program. Our guest speaker will be Anna Strohl, who will share a message titled Resilience: When Things Do Not Go As Planned. Arthur Lovington Grade School students will be joining us. We will follow our 1:15 dismissal schedule and have additional activities planned for students following the program. We hope you can join us!
Next Thursday and Friday, our Drama Club will take the stage with its production of Little Women at the First Christian Church in Lovington. Our students have been working hard all semester, squeezing in rehearsals around classes, activities, and everything else that comes with being a high school student. There is a tremendous amount of time, preparation, and teamwork that goes into bringing a production like this to life, and we are excited for them to finally share their hard work with an audience. Our cast includes: Claire Sass, Jaidyn Edwards, Ashby Coblentz, Stacie Plank, Greyson Yoder, Kaley Herschberger, Denton Marner, Ben Stutzman, Abygail Johnson, Lacie Taylor, and Gabe Brown. Performances are Thursday and Friday night at 7 p.m. Admission is $2 for students and seniors and $4 for adults. We hope to see you there. We hope you will make plans to attend and support our Knights on stage!
And finally, we want to give a HUGE shout-out to Colton Snyder and Beau Green as they compete at the IHSA State Cross Country Meet tomorrow morning in Peoria! Qualifying for the state meet is an incredible accomplishment and a goal that every cross country runner works toward. These two have earned their spot among the best runners in the state, and we could not be more proud of them! We will be cheering them on from afar while also welcoming fans to ALAH as we host the second round of playoff football tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. A trip to State and playoff football on the same weekend? What an exciting time to be a Knight! #GoKnights
A quick reminder that we will have a noon dismissal next Thursday for our School Improvement Day.
