Juniors and seniors, your prom invitations have been delivered! This year’s theme is A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The invitations made by the 4 class officers, Peyton McLaren, Jillian Saathoff, Brynn Lamp, and Alivia Knuth, are bordered with the inspiration of spring and floral designs, which coincides with the prom theme. The class officers, with Anna Weiser’s help, spent 4 hours cutting, printing, and delivering the invitations to AHS juniors and seniors. A very special thank you to junior Peyton McLaren for designing and formatting the invitations, and to Anna Weiser for printing them for prom season!

About the Contributors
Chloe Updike, Staff Writer
Chloe Updike is a sophomore in Journalism 2 who enjoys telling informative stories and learning through hands-on reporting. One of her favorite projects was a story about CPR, where she interviewed the school nurse, students, and Health teacher Molly O’Hara. She said the project stood out because “it was a learning experience for me, and I was also able to make it into an informational story for others.” Updike is especially interested in interviewing, photography, and sharing stories, and she is excited to explore options like social media or yearbook in the future.
Outside the classroom, Updike is passionate about football and cheer, and is also involved in dance. In her free time, she enjoys doing her nails, coloring, shopping, and spending time with friends. She values family and friends most, saying they are “always there to support me.” Updike was inspired to join journalism by her cousin Makynzie Steffens and her friend Payton Burg, who encouraged her interest in writing and photography.
Allison Berryhill, Adviser
Allison Berryhill, the advisor of the journalism program and an English teacher here at AHS has been teaching for 26 years and has been advising the journalism program for 14 years. Berryhill said, “ My favorite memory is when the room is buzzing with students working in teams and the energy is addicting.” Berryhill finds different aspects of each department in journalism fun. “The yearbook is always amazing, and our podcastors and social media team came back with great ideas from Media Now.” One thing Berryhill likes about journalism is that you need a wide range of students with different interests. “Some students shine through with social media, yearbook or taking photos,” said Berryhill.
Outside of teaching Berryhill plays the accordion, runs, juggles and loves to learn new things. She also enjoys reading and writing poetry. “Right now, I am learning Spanish on Duolingo,” Berryhill said. Berryhill would also like to shout out that the AHS journalism website has won the SNO award three years in a row.
