Tomorrow is the last day of our 3rd Annual Coin Wars to Support Operation Homefront. It’s still anybody’s competition to win! We have currently raised almost $345! 7th grade, you are still in the lead, but not by much! 8th grade, you can easily overtake the lead tomorrow! Bring your change and dollar bills tomorrow! The winning grade will receive an ice cream party next Friday!

Today during Mrs. Glasser's E-period students acted as criminologists and identified the types of fingerprints, found unique characteristics, and matched the print to the "criminal".

Coin War Update: The 7th grade is currently winning with 3, 350 points vs. the 8th grade's -947 points. The tide can turn very quickly. Keep bringing your change through Friday to help our Arkansas military families and win an ice cream party!!

EAST students have spent this week reflecting on how engaged they are in class and starting projects to help our community.

The AJHS yearbook staff needs your help in documenting this school year. Feel free to submit pictures of students participating in school activities and out-of-school activities throughout the year.

For Arkansas' Celebrate Freedom Week, Ahlf Junior High students hosted Mr. Justin Mercer, a local lawyer and proud AJHS parent, who spoke about citizens' rights under the law. He shared interesting examples with the students and kept everyone engaged and guessing about the outcomes. We appreciate Mr. Mercer spending his time volunteering and visiting with our students!
