Thank you to everyone who supported the AGS choir Singing Valentines! We saw many happy faces as we traveled room to room to deliver a song and a treat to students/staff. The choir also had a wonderful experience with the residents at the Lutheran Care Center.

Last week was National FCCLA Week. Chapters in 50 states, Washington DC, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa, 225,000 members in over 7,000 chapters held events commemorating this special week. The chapter at ACHS had events everyday. Monday was PJ DAY and Section Meeting in Charleston, where Keely and Sophia competed in proficiency events. The other members attended workshops and networked with other FCCLA members. Tuesday was FCCLA GEAR day. Wednesday, FCCLA Officers and Mrs. Schafer prepared a teacher appreciation breakfast for faculty and staff. Thursday members made Chocolate Covered Strawberries for Valentine's Day. We ended this fantastic week with a Spirit Day, inviting the whole school to join us in wearing Orange and Black!

Altamont students participated in the first ever Laker Academic Invitational. This competition tested the team over seven STEM related subjects. Altamont received 3rd place overall in their division and Larson Burns tied for 1st place in English.

Altamont Grade School will be participating with the Illinois Masonic Lodge and their Bikes for Books Program. This program helps to promote academic success through a positive reading program in public grade schools. Each time a student reads a book, their name will go into a drawing towards winning a bike and a helmet. If your child reads a book at home, send a note or message to their teacher, and we will get a ticket filled out. The drawing for the bike will be in May. Thank you for your participation!
