CONGRATULATIONS to some of our Academic Games competitors who qualified in the top 10% at the most recent World Events Game, hosted by our own district!
In the Elementary Division, we had two Highland students qualify, overall. They are Caitlin Kiliany and Anabelle Erdlen. Anabelle placed FIRST among those competing from all over Beaver County.
Sophia Spiridonakas qualified in the Elementary Division, from Economy School. Great job for her initial Academic Games experience!
Middle Division qualifier was Patrick Gregory from the Junior High. Patrick has made it to the national competition and we hope to have him back there this year! He was very successful in Florida last year.
In the Junior/Senior Division, Nathan Wagner and Joshua Shoup represented our High School, with qualified scores. Nathan attended the national competition last year, with success, and we hope for him to be among those top students again this year!!!!
WOW!!!! We are so proud of these academic achievements of our students at all levels. Our Bridger pride is evident in these fine scholars who represented us in "top notch" style. Thanks for all of their time, dedication and enthusiasm for Ambridge to bring home the gold at the local level!
Keep up the excellence!
Also, thanks to the parents of these fine students. You are the reason that they have the determination to take learning to the next level.
Please congratulate these students and let them know that our district applauds their effort.
In June of 2012, the Ambridge Area School District will induct the fourth round of recipients into the “Hall of Honor.”

One-time distinctions or awards may be appropriate if they are at a national or state level. Nominees must have graduated at least ten years ago before they are eligible. The purpose of the Hall of Honor is to recognize alumni who have achieved outstanding accomplishments and to establish a lasting relationship with their alma mater.

Did you ever wonder why animals don't smoke? Well, the kindergarten students at Economy Elementary learned first hand on a snowy Friday, January 13, 2012 why animals don't smoke. With the help of some friendly animal puppets and a member from Community Health Challenge, the students learned about the dangers of smoking and why it is so important never to start smoking. The students received a pamphlet about the program that they could review with their family & friends and the supplies to create their own puppet at home.
This year the Ambridge Area Chapter of the Technology Student Association competed in their annual Dragster Design Challenge. The challenge consists of many strict rules and regulations.
Each entry must be submitted with a full-size metric drawing of the completed vehicle. A two (2)-view (top and side) drawing with metric dimensions is made on paper no larger than 11"x17" drawing paper. Drawings are developed using standard engineering practices and procedures. The drawing may be produced using traditional drafting methods or CAD.
The car is one (1)-piece, all-wood construction. Any type of lamination results in disqualification. No add-ons such as body strengtheners, fenders, plastic canopy, exhausts, or air foils may be attached to or enclosed within the vehicle. The Evaluation is based on points earned through car design, appearance, accuracy, and quality of the drawing as well as points earned through the wind tunnel test and placement in the double elimination on-site race. Following the guidelines the students produced aerodynamic vehicles weighing just 70 grams.
The following is the top 10 finishing students and their totals and pictures of the race.

On December 19th, the AAHS Anti-Bully Team along with special guest speaker, Terrance Moses, presented on “Bully Prevention & Overcoming Odds” at all of the schools in the district. This fun-filled day consisted of information on bully prevention and intervention by the Anti-Bully Team. In addition to a motivational talk and positive rap by our guest speaker, Terrance Moses.
All of the schools turned out to be great audiences, as they listened intently, asked insightful questions, and danced along to the music. We were thankful to have Terrance join us for the day and share about his hardships and accomplishments. We hope this presentation inspire someone to stay in school and keep working toward their goals.
Lastly, we would like to thank the Elementary PTA/ PTO’s for funding this event. We would also like to thank the principals and administration for supporting this anti-bullying initiative.
