Hey all AAHS students!  Don’t let BG’s “Dawg Pound” claim their territory when OUR Altoona girls’ volleyball team takes them on at the Field House on Monday, October 25th.  Let’s show them what coming into the Lion’s Den is all about!  The theme is Favorite JERSEY.  

P.S. – we heard Mr. Saboe is also offering extra credit if you go and get loud!
