Homecoming 2018
Congratulations to the Ambridge Junior High for their outstanding fundraising efforts made in the support of the American Heart Association. Over the course of a week, the Interact Club held various fundraising activities including face painting and selling wrist bands. The week ended in a dodge ball tournament for which students bought American Heart Association t-shirts as their ticket to play in the game. Because of the generosity and involvement of the students and staff, the Junior High raised approximately $1,300 in support of the American Heart Association! A huge thanks goes out to all of the students and staff of the Ambridge Junior High, as well as the administration for their ongoing support to these charitable endeavors.
