December Happenings
Holiday Food Drive with the 10th grade Student Council
Students were ready to collect food for this year's holiday food drive. Thank you for your support of our sophomore dragons! Here's to giving back this holiday season!
AIS Dragons performing at our Winter Concert!
This year's Winter Concert was one for the books! The band got creative and instead of our usual big formal concert, the band surrounded us with music....literally!
It was a great night of music!
Bravo Dragons!
****Thank you Mrs. Campbell, for your hard work and dedication to our Dragons****
If you missed it, that's okay we captured some of the moments for you!
