Several A-M students attended a college/career fair at Chanute High School today.
The food buckets have been emptied of their donations and the cans have been counted. Congratulations to the 8th graders on bringing the most food, and the 11th graders for the best decorated donation tub! The items received will be donated to the food bank in Altoona. Great job Jets!
On November 9, 2022, Altoona-Midway held their National Honor Society induction ceremony. Since 1921, National Honor Society (NHS) has been working with advisors and principles to recognize students who demonstrate and are committed to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character in the school and community setting. Last night, the Altoona-Midway chapter had the privilege of inducting Olivia Goodwin, Emmalynn Pupanek, and Autumn Raymond into our NHS chapter. These students were selected by our faculty committee for having a 3.2 GPA or above, their leadership and service skills, as well as their character demonstrated by activities and teacher evaluations. Altoona-Midway would like to congratulate the new inductees of the 2022 – 2023 school year for their hard work that led to this honor.
Our NHS chapter now consists of:
Kyra O’Connor – President
Ava Hufford – Vice President
Heather Lane – Treasurer
Olivia Goodwin – Secretary
Kaylene Dorsey
Caden Crawford

Several FCCLA students are working on their STAR (Student Taking Action with Recognition) event, and they need your help! They have created a survey to help with their project and we need you to tell us what you know about FCCLA--even if you don't know anything about it! They will be promoting and sharing about FCCLA in the days to come, and will have another survey at the end of their project to see if they have accomplished their goals in spreading information and awareness about FCCLA.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey!
