Throughout high school, there are plenty of expenses for students to worry about. One surprising event, however, tends to sneak up on Grade 12 students - the year end dinner-dance. Trying to find the perfect dress, the best fitting suit, and the nicest shoes can be a hassle, especially on a student budget. The Promject, organized by Ms. Wirick’s senior leadership class, was aimed towards students that can’t afford expensive clothing for their big night.

Another Christmas has come and gone and Alpha celebrated by hosting a Ho-Ho-Ho Down! Student Council planned an event in lieu of Pancakes with Santa. On December 16th, 2016, students were dismissed from classes at 1:20 pm and invited to the large gym to participate in Christmas themed activities. Students took pictures with Santa, made holiday cards and laughter filled the air while students and staff square danced in the middle of the gym.
