Veterans Day
Honoring Veterans. In honor of Veterans, Student Council hosted a community luncheon. Local veterans and their families were invited to attend. 8th Grade Social Studies students participated in lessons related to the contributions US Veterans have made. Additionally, 7th Grade Social Studies students honored Veterans by planting small flags on the front lawn. Each flag represented a special family or friend to honor.
AWJH Welcomes Austin Hatch!
AWJH & AWHS partnered with AWAKE and welcomed Austin Hatch to campus on November 9th. Austin shared a message including the topics of growth mindset, grit, purpose, and integrity with our students. Prior to Austin’s presentation, students watched a documentary on Austin’s life, which detailed how he overcame losing family members and his survival of two plane crashes. After the presentation, students had the opportunity to engage in reflective discussion with classroom teachers.
