This has been another busy week here at Ardmore High School. This week has been National FFA Week and our students have had several opportunities to celebrate. Friday students were allowed to drive their tractors to school and a FFA officer has said the Pledge of Allegiance each morning. Students have participated in several “dress up” days including camo day, hat day and others. Mr. McKay does an excellent job with the FFA and we are fortunate to have such a strong FFA club on our campus.
Ms. DeGraffenreid will be taking a group of students to Birmingham next week to watch the Alabama Theater Flamingo Ballet. This is a Spanish cultural experience complete with Spanish music and dance. This is an excellent experience for our Spanish students to learn more about the Spanish culture.
The annual Ardmore High School Talent Show was held Friday, February 26, 2010 in the new gym. Several of our students displayed their talent this year with a group consisting of Jacob Black, Kendall Bailey, Colin Barts and Ben Rhinehart taking the top spot. A duet of Shelby Goldsmith, and Ben Rhinehart took second place and Jacob Petritsch placed 3rd. Our students behaved wonderfully at the Talent Show and the proceeds went to the soccer program. Ms. Wiley does a wonderful job with the show and we appreciate her efforts.
Spring sports are in full swing and we are very excited about our teams. This season looks very promising with all of our teams doing wonderfully in this very young spring season. In spite of the frigid weather Ardmore continues to have good support for all of its sports programs. The Winter Sports Banquet will be March 2 at 6:00 pm in the cafeteria.
The Alabama High School Graduation Exam will be given the week of March 1st and we know the hard work of our teachers and students will pay off when they take the test. We want to encourage all students taking the exams to have a restful week so they can give their best effort. This is a very big exam for our students and we want everything to go smoothly for them so they can finish their high school career successfully.
