Livvy Grubb is in the Panther Spotlight!
Miss Livvy is a fireball. She is passionate about her learning and is constantly asking questions to expand her knowledge. Her humor and jokes make the class laugh endlessly. She is so bright and I look forward to seeing her continue to grow.
Livvy is always willing to give you a hello and smile to make your day better!! She is very spunky and quick to be helpful when needed. She is a great addition to our Panther family!!
Livvy is an intelligent and talented young student who in another year will probably be capable of running the school and then the world.
Livvy is fun and so friendly. Her bubbly personality adds so much to our school. She is willing to participate and help others. Good job Livvy!
Skye Malli is in the Panther Spotlight!
Skye does a great job engaging in our class discussions and asking questions that often lead us into a deeper understanding of what we are learning.
Skye is always willing to help a hand whenever needed. She is very considerate of others and is a great example of what a true Panther is!! Keep up the good work, Skye!!
Skye is a strong supporter of our school! She steps up when things need done and is willing to do the extra work. As an officer in the Student Council she adds to our council with her leadership skills. She has great ideas and she is willing to be an active part of what we are doing. These characteristics make sure our activities are successful. Good job Skye!
Skye always brings good energy to the class and asks good questions to make sure that she understands the lesson.
Skye Rose has such a kind heart. I love when she comes and visits me in the elementary. I have so loved watching her grow and mature over all these years.
Skye kind of carries the weight of the entire sophomore class on her shoulders. She is also a leader amongst her peers and a good one at that. Not only is Skye a leader in the class of 2026, but she has also stepped up as a leader in sources of strength, making sure to spread positivity around ACHS and always being there when others need her. Thanks for being there for all of us and being such a great Panther leader, Skye!
Skye has a way of positively and non-intrusively helping her classmates stay on track and walk the Panther way. Her leadership makes our classroom retain high expectations.
Jorgen Michelena is in the Panther Spotlight!
Jorgen always livens up our discussions with his creative ideas!
Jorgen is calm, cool, and collected never letting anything rattle him and at the same time, he uses those same characteristics to challenge others and their thinking.
Jorgen is friendly and always says hi. He is learning to be a leader and helps out when asked. He has great ideas and I enjoy having him in class. Good job Jorgen!
Jorgen always brings interesting perspectives in class that help promote good discussions.
Jorgen has such a great sense of humor. He always makes me laugh! I definitely miss seeing him every day.
Jorgen's witty comments make our classroom that much livelier. When reading any material, he has a knack for relating the central claims and themes back to our real world. Also, he showcases his opinions strongly!
3rd and 4th graders team up during Fundations to show off their skills in the ultimate showdown. Great work is happening!

Guest post from Mrs. Andreen
Through the power of Artificial Intelligence, the 5th graders had a conversation with Amelia Earhart. They discussed topics about adventure, courage, and perseverance. A few students even asked about her mysterious disappearance.

Mrs. Auzqui is in the Panther Spotlight! Mrs. Auzqui is a hard working, dedicated Panther. She has embraced change this year, moving out of a role as a leader of the curriculum work in the district and into one teaching third grade ELA and second grade math! She provides a smile at every turn and has been a leader at A-C! A past member of DSC, Mrs. Auzqui was instrumental in our achieving the high marks we did in our accreditation visit. While still leading behind the scenes, she is choosing now to focus on her students and put all of her effort into the classroom, and our students are the better for it. Mrs. Auzqui is truly committed to advancing the Panther Way!
Our K-6 student of the month of December, voted on by ACHS #SourcesOfStrength is 6th grader Raimee Jordan! Here is why Raimee was nominated for the award:
"Raimee has been a wonderful addition to the AC community! Every day she comes to school, works hard, loves learning, and encourages her classmates to be their best. She is kind and an expert 4-square player :) Her enthusiasm, integrity, and dedication make her a deserving student for this recognition."
Congratulations, Raimee!
ACHS #SourcesOfStrength would like to congratulate the December 7-12 student of the month, Abbie Odegard! Here is what teachers had to say when nominating Abbie:
"Abbie has always demonstrated her skills to the utmost level during class. she puts in the extra effort to make sure that all of her work is done on time. She always asks for clarification when she doesn't understand particular parts of what is being taught. She does a great job of interjecting good humor into the class. She has done an amazing job this last month."
"Abbie has been put in a different role than normal this last month. This could have been hard on her and she could have taken a negative attitude toward the situation, but instead, she thrived. When adversity was thrown at her, she took it in stride and found the best in the situation, becoming a major leader of the student population. Abbie is through and through a panther leader and is above and beyond the student of the month in my eyes."
Positive connections with kids is a such a great part of being an educator, and I am lucky enough to have these kids as part of our amazing staff to student connection program! #180DaysOfJoy

We keep improving so our kids can keep improving. Thanks to our great partnership with #SheridanCollege and the handy work of Better Body Fitness in Billings, we were yet again able to update the weight room with a new dumbbell rack and a new ADX fan bike. All of here at ACHS sure appreciate it! #180DaysOfJoy

Found joy in simplicity today. The kinders/pre-k's somehow talked me into taking a break from our kicking unit to build this massive speedstack tower that took the entire period. Hard to say no when you see the happiness on those faces! #180DaysOfJoy #shr3pantherpride
