Meet some new people while becoming more confident in your ability to express yourself clearly. Effective communication will help you in all areas of life – both in and out of school – so come and check it out. We hope to see you there!
9/14/23: The AAJHS Junior Lady Lions Soccer Team hosted Park Forest Middle School yesterday at Roosevelt Field. The game proved to be a defensive battle. A very good offensive front saw several opportunities, but ultimately were met by Park Forest’s equally good defense. The same can be said about our very own defensive back line that features Leah Connolly, Cora Jones, Katie Beck, Nara Harzbecker, Emalyn Rickabaugh, Izzy Benjamin, Calli Ingham, and Co-Captain Bella Noel. This squad helped to hold the opposition to a 0-0 stalemate. The game ultimately ended in a draw setting up for a very good rematch when the team heads to State College.
9/11 – 9/15: Students, do you need help with your homework? Need a Wi-Fi connection to complete assignments on your Chromebook? No worries! The Chromebook Café is open for your convenience. It will be held in room C234 after school from 2:40-4:10 p.m. No need to sign up. Just show up! We are here to help!
