ALAH Weekend Update

Hello Knight Family:

Next week brings one of our favorite holiday traditions ….the Christmas Concert!  Our band and chorus have  been rehearsing for weeks.  Everyone is welcome to join us on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in the old gym.  This event always sets the stage for the holidays.

FFA is hosting a chili supper on Tuesday night from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the cafeteria to help show off all of the exciting things that are happening in our Ag classes.  The event is for anyone that is an FFA supporter.  There may even be a quiz bowl competition between some of our students and audience members. 

Our CEO class is having their class business on Saturday, December 17th.  It is a CHRISTMAS PANCAKES & PJ’S BREAKFAST at the Arcola Community Center.  Tickets are available at the door for $12 or ahead of time for $10. (Call the school for more information.) There will be a guest appearance by Santa Claus from 9 - 12 noon and present wrapping is included.  You can have breakfast, visit Santa and have your gifts wrapped!  Breakfast runs  6:00am - 11:00am and Gift Wrapping 6:00am - 3:00pm.  What a great morning …

Faculty are pushing hard through the end of the semester to finish up their curriculum and prepare students for final exams.  Attendance is crucial.  If your student is absent for any reason, please make sure they are reaching out to their teachers to get caught up.  Final exams may be final projects or a more traditional test. Every class is required to have an exam.  (The only students that are exempt from final exams are seniors who beat the SAT state average.)  Next week will include the final exam schedule for December 20th and 21st. There is a 2:00 dismissal on both days. 

Don’t forget we are still participating in the Twelve Days of Christmas with dress up days and a food drive.  Info is listed in the calendar below.
