Greetings from Animas High School!
There’s not much time left in the 2009-10 school year and our students are hard at work and looking to finish strong. Please take a moment to review the following updates for the week.
Women’s Voices
Denver Trip
Office Hours
New Office AHS Manager
Women’s Voices Conference
A small group of young women from AHS will be assuming leadership roles at this week’s Girls to Women Conference. The conference pulls together young women from throughout Southwestern Colorado to discuss and explore issues related to empowerment, self-esteem, self advocacy and healthy lifestyles. We are delighted to be involved in this experience and look forward to hearing about all the great work our students are sure to do! The conference runs April 20th for Durango and Silverton schools and April 22nd for Ignacio, Bayfield and Pagosa Springs schools.
Denver Trip
This week is Charter School Week in Colorado and a group of AHS students is slated to be in Denver for the second half of this week. It also looks to be a busy time at the Capitol as educators from around the state descend upon Capitol Hill for important lobbying opportunities related to current legislation making its way through our state’s legislature. Charter schools will gather en mass to meet with their elected officials and lobby in support of educational choice. AHS students will travel to Denver on Wed. and then spend the entire day Thurs. meeting with lawmakers, touring the Capitol, observing legislative proceedings on the floor an attending a huge rally on the Capitol steps. Also, AHS student Alicia Whiteman will be one of three students from across the state addressing attendees, politicians and the media during Thursday’s rally. The Animas High team has an ambitious agenda and we look forward to representing AHS, Durango and all of southwestern Colorado at this very special experience. Our group will have its final planning and logistics meeting at lunch on Tues. at AHS. with trip leaders Michael Ackerman and Lori Fisher.
Office Hours
