Cancelations/Rescheduled AHS Events
I wanted to thank everyone for their flexibility and support in dealing with recent cancelations at AHS. Please note that the school will always defer to the safest and most conservative course of action when making decisions related to the weather. Although it was disappointing to have to cancel Friday evening’s dance, knowing no one would be heading home on icy roads in a blizzard late at night was the most responsible track to take. Parents and students also chose not to drive from Durango to Salt Lake City over the weekend to participate in the SCUBA SIGs field certification experience; again a smart and safe decision.
We have re-scheduled our dance for Friday April 2nd at the Durango Rec Center. SCUBA’s Open Water Certification field experience will be re-scheduled and make-up dates announced as soon as details are finalized with Splash Down. If you or your student ever has questions or concerns regarding cancelations/ closures due to inclement weather, I encourage you to contact me directly. I can be reached at 970-AHS-AHS4 or via email, michael@animashighschool.com
Spirit Week

Model United Nations
An all day MUN simulation will take place at AHS on Monday, March 1st, 2010. Our students have spent a large portion of second semester in Humanities classes getting ready for this experience. We are expecting amazing performances from all our students and they continue to impress us with their global perspectives.
Want to see the action for yourself? Guests are welcome to join us for any or all parts of Monday’s simulation. Observers/guests should plan on attending Monday morning’s session from 8:45 to 10:15 AM, with the afternoon’s session running from 12:45 to 2:45 PM. Students will be on hand to help guests/observers find their way to seating galleries and answer any questions they may have. This event is open to all. Hope to see you Monday!
Exhibition
Didn’t get to see enough student action on Monday? Join us for Animas High School’s second exhibition event of the 2009-2010 school year. Students will be exhibiting their work from our Math and Digitial Media programs. Exhibition starts promptly at 5 p.m. with students exhibiting through 6:30 p.m. The building will close at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Don’t miss the event that everyone’s sure to be talking about! AHS will also be hosting a third exhibition later on in semester two on May 6th. Parents, please note that students must be in PROFESSIONAL DRESS at Exhibition.
