This year the school’s Student Council sponsored and hosted a student council conference. Although most schools couldn’t attend due to a snow storm, two schools did. Student Council members from AAJHS, AAHS, BGHS, HAHS and HAJHS enjoyed the conference and learned lessons from the workshops. Student Council Adviser, Elizabeth Bronson expected nearly 300 students to attend.

The day started off with the AAHS band performing game day classics and a few new songs. Soon after, Jason Christopher gave a motivational speech and wowed the audience with a hypnotizing stunt. After Christopher preformed, some of the AAJHS student council warmed up the crowed with some icebreaker cheers. Students then went to the workshops taught by both AAJHS and AAHS student council members. After the icebreakers, students had lunch and did a team building activity. The day ended with a speech from Bronson and some more icebreaker cheers. All of the students that attend the conference learned life lessons and had fun as well.
