AHS Art II Students took a field trip on Friday to Ouachita Baptist University. Donnie Copeland at OBU art department hosted Mrs. Eriksson’s Art students. Mr. Copeland taught the students how to marble paper by floating ink on water. The students then got to see some really great charcoal mixed-media portraits by the artist Adewumi and were able to do some gallery sketching.

“TOY Around with a Good Book”
Librarian Paul Sivils has his toy collection on display now at AHS. He displays the toys each year which are mostly from kids’ meals he has purchased starting over 30 years ago. The toys represent book, movie, and TV characters. The exhibit has even been in a local art show. No doubt our graduates remember this!

On Monday, the Chemistry lab at AHS underwent a significant improvement in safety and organization. Susan Allison, the science specialist from Dawson Education Cooperative, joined forces with our dedicated science teachers—Rachel Green, Staci Johnson, and Julie Bradshaw—to reorganize and optimize the laboratory chemical storage closet.
Together, the team ensured that all chemicals were stored in their proper and safe order, cleaned the space thoroughly, and learned the best practices for properly disposing of chemicals after laboratory experiments. As part of this process, Susan also led a short, hands-on lesson for the AP Chemistry students, giving them valuable practical experience.
