Senatorial Visit to AHS
AHS is honored to welcome US Senator Michael Bennet to campus on Wednesday, April 4th. Animas High School’s success has been well profiled this year and we are excited to show off our school to one of our state’s key leaders. Senator Bennet will take time to meet with students, staff and administration, tour our campus and observe classes.
Junior College Night
Please join the AHS College Counseling Dept. this Thursday, April 5 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at AHS. 11th graders and their families are strongly encouraged to attend this evening meeting.
Fashion Guide Free Friday
Team AHS: Molly Black, Brittney Smith, Aitor Barrantes, and Nano Rodd have shaved their heads and raised over $300 dollars for St. Baldricks, an organization that is dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research. Other than the U.S. Government, St. Baldricks provides the most funding for childhood cancer research in America. They raise awareness for the cause by holding an event worldwide each March; where people sign up to shave their heads to stand in solidarity with children with cancer.
To celebrate Team AHS and as a result of their successful efforts, Head of School Michael Ackerman has declared Friday, Aril 6th a FASHION GUIDE FREE FRIDAY! This means students are permitted to wear items to school that are usually prohibited under the school’s Fashion Guide. So break out your hats, flip-flops, athletic wear and pajama bottoms (really, pajama bottoms?), it’s time to celebrate! Note- Student dress may not violate school rules related to clothing bearing offensive messages, profanity or inappropriate pictures or symbols. No excessive skin and no gum! The school reserves the right to remediate any questionable fashion choices. Please enjoy this privilege responsibly!
All School Advisory Day
Animas High School students can expect a full, final day of programming before spring break. This Friday, students will participate in advisory activities, all school culture building efforts and a trip to FLC for a private showing of the Imaginary Invalid and to view our 9th graders final animation projects on the big screen. This is one school day not to be missed!
FLC Theatre Department - The Imaginary Invalid
Written by Molière Directed by Guest Artist Rima Miller
The privileged Argan is a homebound hypochondriac with every disease imaginable. Surrounded by lurking quacks who are only too happy to (mis)treat him; a money-grubbing wife and two headstrong daughters, Argan is miserable. Molière’s 17th century comedy gets an alternative approach re-imagined by Guest Artist/Director Rima Miller. Created with original music and requisite bawdiness you will love this satirical exploration. Warning: Excessive laughter may be hazardous to your health.
Spring Break Starts Friday
It’s finally here! Wishing all of our students and their families an incredibly fun and safe Spring Break vacation. School will be closed next week with campus re-opening on Monday, April 16th at 7 AM
