Real Care Babies are a part of Mrs. Hill's Child Development Course at AHS. Students practiced care techniques for the babies in class and will take home to babies to care for them for three consecutive nights. The Real Care babies must be attended to for various reasons (feeding, changing, burping, and general care.) Mrs. Hill is able to see students' responses to the babies when the simulation is done. The lessons and activities are a great way to provide students with a glimpse of real world child care skills.

Students in Mr. Huestis's Advanced Engineering class took a field trip to the First Light Northfield Mountain Power Plant last week. The power plant uses four giant generators to pump water up to a reservoir at the top of Northfield Mountain. When there is excess electricity on the grid, it releases to generate electricity when demand is high. The entire plant is 700 ft under the mountain.

Students in Ms. Waters's drawing and painting classes collectively collaborated with Ms. Labruna and Mrs. Violette's English 10 Honors classes recently. The project consisted of ELA students receiving a famous work of art which they were to write a poem in response to it. Without seeing the work of art, the drawing and painting classes received the students' poems and created a piece of visual art in response to it. The unique collaboration is presented in the rotunda area of the high school.
