I hope this email finds everyone well and shoveled out from this weekend’s snow events. Please review the following AHS updates:

Enrollment Events/Info Nights Continue
New Staffing
School Dance
Hair Tinsel Fundraiser
President’s Day

Enrollment Events/Info Nights Continue

Animas high School will be hosting another evening info session from 6 to 7:30 this evening. Please share this opportunity with students and families you know that may be interested in AHS. Our presentations and student shadow days have proved remarkably successful and interest and enrollment for next year is strong! Thanks for helping us spread the word!

New Staffing

Animas High School is excited to welcome two new instructors to our team. Tony Corona has joined our team to teach our Digital Editing and Movie Making programs. Ruben Balaguer has replaced John Sheedy as our Spanish teacher. Their presence and contributions have been immediately felt and we are excited to add their talents and abilities to our already fantastic group of educators. Look for more on these gentlemen in an upcoming HOS Update newsletter.

School Dance

Animas High School is sponsoring a dance at the Durango Rec. Center on February 19th from 6 to 9 PM. The students are encouraged to bring guests that are in high school and under 18 years old. Students MUST sign their guests up with AHS administration prior to the 19th. Students that arrive with guests that have not been cleared by the Student Services Director will not be allowed entrance. Once students depart the venue, they will not be re-admitted to the dance hall! The dance will feature a professional DJ, taco and snack bar and some secret activities that are sure to leave us all smiling. Parents who may want to assist in planning, set-up and execution of this event are encouraged to contact PAC@animashighschool.com

Hair Tinsel Fundraiser

Hair Tinsel Fundraisers continue at the Durango Mall. We’ll be selling the last few water bottles and spreading the AHS message at this upcoming event. No one could have anticipated how popular an initiative hair tinseling would become. So after repeated requests for more sparkle, AHS, PAC and our students have decided to provide two more opportunities to have your head colorfully adorned.

Students will be tinseling at the high school’s dance on the 19th and follow up that experience with a table at the Durango Mall on February 20th. There will be a training for parents and students to learn how to do the tinseling on February 10 at 4:00 at AHS. We would love your help with any or all of these events. Please contact PAC@animashighschool.com

President’s Day

No School this upcoming Monday, Feb. 15th due to the President’s Day Holiday.
