🎉✨ Holiday Cheer Recap at Hillman Jr/Sr High School! 🎄🎁
Students had an amazing time this holiday season with the festive raffle by the therapy office! They got creative by decorating presents (who is a "gift" to you?), Christmas stars (a Christmas wish), and snowflakes (as unique as you!). The bulletin board was filled with beautiful, original creations that showcased school spirit and connection.
This creative display and activity was guided and organized by AMA ESD's 31n Therapist, Kass Showalter LMSW, who works full-time at Hillman Jr/Sr High. It was wonderful to see the students engage in this activity, which encouraged self-reflection and fostered a sense of inclusion. A big thank you to all who joined in the fun, and congratulations to the 4 raffle winners!

We’re excited to announce an incredible partnership between the AMA ESD’s STARS Reading Intervention Program and the CTE Woods Class at AHS! This collaboration has led to the creation of blending boards designed specifically for the STARS Reading Intervention.
Blending boards are a valuable tool in literacy instruction. Thanks to the skill and craftsmanship of the AHS CTE students, the STARS program now has a high-quality resource to support reading intervention within the yearly budget.
This partnership is a testament to the power of community and teamwork in fostering student success. Thank you to the talented students and teachers involved in this project!
