Mrs. Schafer's Foods and Nutrition Classes have been holding the annual Pork Chopped Tournament. Students form teams and are challenged to prepare a meal in one hour with a basket of three mystery ingredients. They are given a cut of pork, a fresh ingredient and packaged ingredient. Each class competes to determine the class champ and then the two class champs compete for the school title. This year's battle was epic. The B2 champs, the Crust Queens, took on B3 champs, the Sizzle Squad, to determine the School Pork Chopped Champion. The Crust Queens prevailed is this very close finale. Congratulations to all the champions! You impressed us with your culinary skills. Thank you to the Illinois Pork Producers for providing a generous grant for the pork used in this competition.

Drama club wants to shout out to our mob wife.
Hi, I am Dakota Campe. This is my first production with the ACHS drama club and I am so excited to be a part of the show! I play Juror #6, an Italian wife to juror #5 who is very flashy. She is always right and her husband is always wrong. Outside of theatre I love listening to music and going for bike rides. I hope you enjoy the show this weekend!

Today we are shouting out our Jury foreman.
Hi, my name is Annabelle Fritcher. You might recognize me from playing Rhonda in "Almost, Maine," or from just overly committing to the bit. In "12 Incompetent Jurors," I play the Foreman—an improv enthusiast who is a little… eccentric. When I’m not acting, I enjoy making fancy coffee drinks and looking at memes on Pinterest. I’ve enjoyed working with our cast and directors this year, and I hope you enjoy the show!

Drama Club wants to shout out our scariest juror.
My name is Emma Long and I'm an actor. I love art and nature. I played Steve from Almost, Maine. This year I play Juror #9, a creepy and unnerving guy with a love for french fries. I hope you come see me in 12 Incompetent Jurors.
-THANK YOU-
Altamont Lions Club donated $750 to the new Altamont Schools Mentoring Program. Their generosity is much appreciated!

As a lead up to the show next Friday, drama club is highlighting our cast and crew.
I’m Alana Tapley, better known as ceviche/tadpole (thank you, Brooke). I've been in drama club all four years.
Freshman year, I played a cop in the play Lamb to the Slaughter.
Sophomore year, I played various roles such as dragon, Hannah, Xavia Jones, and Sal in the play Puffs.
Junior year, I worked backstage as the stage manager in Almost, Maine.
For my final year in this great program, I play a dinosaur in 12 Incompetent Jurors.
I am so sad to leave these people and this program, but I’m so happy I've spent the last four years with these people. I have made life-long friends and memories that have made me the person I am today. I want to use this as a final good bye, and thank you to Mr. Koester and Monique for making this program the best it has been in years.
Altamont brings home another FFA State Champion!
The Altamont FFA Dairy Judging team traveled north to the Illinois FFA State Dairy Judging contest today, where freshman Olliver Shoaf finished 1st place overall! He led the team to a 2nd place finish in the state non-reasons division!
Olliver will be recognized as the State Winner on stage at the IL FFA State Convention in June. He was backed by teammates Jillian Tappendorf placing 11th, Nate Lurkins placing 19th, Haydyn Baker finishing 25th, and Landon Savage ranking 32nd.
The Altamont FFA Chapter is advised by Mr. Alex Walden.
Students from AGS participated in the Elementary Music Festival put on by District 5 Illinois Music Education Association. The event took place on EIU campus. Three students from AGS sang in the combined 5th and 6th grade choir. They learned 5 songs which they performed at a concert later that same day. Six students in 3rd-5th grade took classes on playing Boomwhackers, playing Xylophones, and Folk Dancing. They showcased what they had learned at a concert later that day. After the trip the students shared pictures, stories, and music with their peers during music class.
Students in Mrs. Schafer's FACS classes modeled their handmade aprons and pillows, projects from our sewing unit. They will have the opportunity to wear their aprons during our cooking unit next quarter. Way to go Indians! You did a great job.
AGS recently held our annual Scholastic Book Fair from February 23-27th. Students kicked off the week by "traveling' to a different classroom to listen to a story about dragons (fair theme this year). Once finished, the teacher spun a name wheel and the winner took the book home. On Tuesday and Thursday, students were able to shop with their Grandparents or special Grandperson. On Wednesday night, students were able to shop with their family on Parent Night. We would like to send a huge thank you to the community for their continued support for our book fair each year!
What an incredible night at the Altamont Community High School Career Fair! We had over 75 students attend and we are so grateful to the many businesses and organizations that took time out of their busy schedules to connect with our students and share their knowledge, experiences, and career opportunities.
