What’s Happening at AHS

April Knight of Gratitude Donation Drive

Posted on

We need your help!  Please consider assisting us with this year’s April Knight of Gratitude fundraising event.  In lieu of an auction and raffle, this year we are asking students to spread the good news about all we have to be grateful for here at AHS.  We are hoping they will offer friends and family members the encouragement to support our Catholic school mission through a tax-deductible gift to our school.  Please grab some of the available April Knight of Gratitude donation envelopes from either your Homeroom teacher or the Front Office.  We have so much to be grateful for here at AHS, and it is through the help of many that our programming is made possible!

Please see the attached poster for student incentives for donation collections.  Weekly grade-level out-of-uniforms and homeroom ice cream are on the table.  Additionally – one $500 grand prize winner will be drawn at the April Knight of Gratitude event on Wednesday, April 29, 6-9pm, at the Hotel Blackhawk Gold Room.

Thanks so much for assisting us with this effort!
