*Love is in the air and Valentine's Day is around the corner. It's the perfect time to show appreciation and celebrate friendships with those who make our days brighter. Send a card, flower or a goodie bag to brighten someone's day! LSA is selling the valentines during both lunches Monday and Tuesday prices are $1-$3 and will be delivered on Valentines!
*The AHS pit orchestra is looking for a few students who play electric guitar and/or bass to join us for the spring musical ~ ‘Mean Girls’. You don't have to be a current band student to participate. So if you are looking for ways to get involved, this would be a great way to get started! Please contact Mr. Funk in the band room ASAP if you are interested.
*To celebrate Black History Month, we will be sharing information about African American advocates in the Mental Health Community. The African American community have made powerful contributions to the mental health field and we would like to shine light on and celebrate those contributions.
*Joseph L. White is sometimes referred to as "the father of Black psychology." He wrote the groundbreaking article "Toward a Black Psychology," which is credited as being the first-ever strengths-based (rather than deficit-based) evaluation and description of Black behavior and culture. He passionately advocated for the creation of Black psychology, arguing that applying white psychology to Black people often unfairly created the illusion of Black inferiority, when ultimately it was a reflection of the culturally irrelevant psychological principles being applied. He also helped found the ‘Association of Black Psychologists’ as well as the Black Studies program at San Francisco State University in 1968.
Athletics
