Students in Indiana for Youth Conference

Thank you to Fr. Bob for making a pit stop at the airport to wish our travelers well and deliver a blessing as they headed to Indianapolis for this year’s National Catholic Youth Conference!

The premier Catholic youth event gathers high schoolers from across the country for three days of prayer, community, evangelization, catechesis, service, and empowerment.

This year's theme is "I Am" and reflects on the time God appeared to Moses through the burning bush, and explores how the Sacraments are the living story of God’s love.

Book Donation

We have a pair of thank yous to give out:

Thank you to Susan Loftus Jacobson '63, who donated a copy of Debra Bruno's "A Hudson Valley Reckoning: Discovering the Forgotten History of Slavery in My Dutch American Family" to our library.

We'd also like to thank the author, herself, who stopped by to sign the donated copy.

Mrs. Rauch appreciates any and all contributions to the Library Learning Commons, especially from local authors!

Trivia Masters

Congratulations to our Masterminds teams for their recent performances: JV (1st Place), Varsity (2nd Place). Keep up the good work!

Girls' Best Friend

Who needs Superman when you have Lois?

Thanks to our friend Ellen for bringing in Lois, who is a guide dog in training to visit our students and provide some much-needed smiles!

Father-Daughter Dinner Dance

Photos are in from the Father-Daughter Dinner Dance! Fun times were had by all, and thank you to AHN's Parents Association for putting together such a memorable evening!

Joyce Finishes 2nd in Class C

Congratulations to Times Union Athlete of the Week Maeve Joyce for earning league and Section II first place honors.

She also placed 2nd in Class C at States.

481 of the top female runners in New York State converged on Queensbury High School to compete for the state title. Out of 132 runners in Class C, Maeve Joyce gave a spectacular effort to earn that 2nd place finish. Overall within the total pool of 481 runners, Maeve finished 14th!

Congratulations are also in order for Lily Belles on a fantastic diving season where she finished as Colonial Council and Section II Champion.

Lastly, a shoutout to AHN’s sixth-grade CYO basketball team, which made its debut in scrimmage play this week versus Niskayuna. If the 29-10 victory is any indication of things to come, this new squad has a lot of promise!

AHN Families,

With the holidays — and Small Business Saturday — right around the corner, we’re expanding our list of AHN community-owned businesses!

If your family owns a business, we’d love to include you. Our goal is to promote and celebrate AHN family businesses while encouraging our community to shop locally and support one another this season.

Let’s shine a spotlight on the creativity, talent, and entrepreneurship within our AHN family!
