Another Monday, another A-Okay on my AHS Daily COVID Checklist, I did mine this morning, hope you did yours… Congratulations goes out to our Junior B basketball teams for successfully hosting their tournament last Thursday & Friday. Both teams played awesome. Our Junior B boys lost a great game versus Prescott in the 3rd place game. Our Junior B girls went undefeated and won the entire tournament! Job well done! Basketball practices today include - Sr Boys, Jr A Boys, and Jr A Girls all in the large gym after school….and Sr Girls in the small gym after school. The Pack Pride boxes in the office have a lot of names, in every grade. Great job Wolfpack for continuing to show kindness, leadership and positivity in our school.
