Please join “A Conversation Among Parents About Teen Mental Health” on Thursday, October 27, 6:30-8:00pm, in-person at Amundsen. All Amundsen parents and guardians are welcome; no registration or RSVP needed.

This is the first activity of the school year hosted by the AHS Mental Health Awareness Initiative (AMHAI).

Viking Theatre Company presents our fall play on November 11 (4pm) and 12 (1pm and 6pm). Set in the 1950s, a 19-year-old has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. The jury room gets personal with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes!
