Hello
Volunteers,
I
just wanted to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all parents, students, grand parents
and friends of AHS who participated in the cleaning on Saturday. The school
looks great due to your hard work and dedication. So many people answered the
call for help to conquer the dirt and dust! It is great to be part of a
community that cares so much and is so willing to take action when required!
Thank
you,
Michelle
