Agawam High was festive from the start to the finish of the day today! Mr. Fazio stopped into Room 32 for a holiday sing-a-long, there was a choral concert in the rotunda that many students enjoyed, and the afternoon was capped off with a floor hockey tournament in the gym.
On Monday, the staff at Agawam High were treated to a holiday party complete with awesome snacks &
fun games! The competition was fierce but everyone ended with smiles and laughs. Special thanks to our admin team and the Future Teachers of America for hosting this festive event!

AHS students in Ms. Waters’ undifferentiated Arts class celebrated with a winter party yesterday. Everyone had so much fun and the peer models fundraised the costs of the gathering.
Students in Ms. Bonavita’s APUSH class participated in a “Speed Dating” activity. Acting as Civil War generals, both Union & Confederate leaders went on a series of “dates” to learn more about each other and their impacts on the war itself while enjoying snacks and grape juice.
Today at AHS, members of the sophomore class who have exemplified attendance and/or effort excellence were honored at an award assembly. Congrats to the tenth graders who received awards today!
Representatives from "One Call Away" came to talk to the Art Honors 2 class. Students collected canned goods the night of the Winter Arts Festival which were donated to "One Call Away," a local non profit located here in Agawam that supports veterans and families with connections to much needed service, a food pantry, mental health hotline, PTSD support groups and so much more. Very proud of our students for their community involvement!
Annually, the AHS hockey team holds their Toy Drive with the Springfield Thunderbirds hockey team. Last weekend they “stuffed the bus." The team continues to be solid on the ice, but even more importantly great citizens that make a difference.
Kristen V. and Isabella O. attended the Annual Western Mass DART Convention on December 14th. Kristen and Isabella are members of the Hampden County District Attorney’s Youth Advisory Board.

The pair answered questions from substance abuse outreach professionals, eager to know the youth’s perspective.
Members of the AHS hockey team, football team, and National Honor Society joined the community at the annual Wreaths Across America event at the Massachusetts’ Veterans Cemetery. Over 2.7 wreaths were laid on veteran gravestones across the nation yesterday.
