Senior Photographs
Hey, seniors!! I know that we tried this in the fall, but we still need your photographs for the Senior Slideshow. Please submit a jpeg link instead of an actual physical photograph, unless, of course, you only have a physical photo that you want to submit, in which case you will be allowed to do so. We need them by Friday, March 29th (the last day of school before spring break).
For this year, please use the Google form link below to submit a photograph of yourself. The photo can be ONE of the following.
You can submit an image of yourself as a baby or toddler. Until now, this has been the picture traditionally requested.
You can submit an image of yourself taking part in a favorite hobby or activity (for example, playing soccer or going on a hike). This photo can show you at any age.
You can submit an image of yourself in a favorite location (for instance, visiting the Grand Canyon or at the Lincoln Memorial). This photo can show you at any age.
If you wish to submit a physical photograph, please put it in an envelope with your first and last name on the envelope and give it to Dr. Shapiro. Additionally, if you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact Dr. Shapiro. Thank you! AND REMEMBER, WE NEED THE PHOTOGRAPH or jpeg link by the end of the day on Friday, March 29th.
Do you have some good news about your Senior that you'd like to share with the AOC community?
For the rest of the school year, students and parents are invited to share any good news that they are proud of with the rest of the AOC community. Please share the good news with me, jfine@hartdistrict.org and I will share it with the entire community. Let's celebrate their accomplishments together.
Youth Ambassadors from Matsudo Japan Visit AOC
Our school was specifically chosen by Sister Cities International to host a global exchange, a plan conceived five years ago prior to the pandemic. We were honored to receive a heartfelt note from the Mayor of Matsudo, expressing gratitude for hosting his students and extending well wishes. A special acknowledgment goes to our gracious host families: the Williams, the Finch family, and the Nair family. Your hospitality towards our guests is truly invaluable, and we are immensely grateful. Additionally, we extend our thanks to Emma Finch, Sidharth Nair, and Chloe Williams for their exemplary representation as student ambassadors. This marks our second time hosting students from Matsudo, and we express gratitude to ASB for their assistance in coordinating club activities.
