3rd Hour Spanish Class had the opportunity to join the Kindergarten Music Classes today. The high schoolers were fantastic leaders and the kindergartners were good listeners. :)
The first graders wrapped up their Early World Civilization unit by making their names out of hieroglyphics and building ziggurats and pyramids out of Legos.
"The Semester 1 Introduction to Foods class has been busy working on their creative projects. They have designed and built incredible new spins on the traditional holiday gingerbread house. Each creation is unique, showcasing innovative ideas and impressive craftsmanship to celebrate the festive season with a modern twist."

It's been brought to our attention that there have been problems for people to watch Albany HS basketball games on their HUDL FAN APP in regards to using their SMART TV's. Viewers have been able to watch on their cellular devices & internet devices, but not on their SMART TV'S. This problem should now be resolved as HUDL had forgotten to put Albany HS on their list of schools/viewings for SMART TV APPS. Please try again if this was a problem for you in the past as it should now be resolved.
