However for planning purposes, your prompt attention is greatly appreciated . Thank you for making After Prom an exciting SAFE alternative for our students. Questions? Email: ankenyafterprom@q.com
High School Students Need Primary Sources
AHS students in American Culture class are working closely with the Ankeny Area Historical Society to document history using primary sources. The students use many kids of cutting edge technology to make video and audio recordings. Right now the Museum is in need of people who have personal knowledge of World War II, the Ordnance Plant, the Vietnam War, and the Ankeny Roller Rink. If you have any personal experiences with any of these topics, we would love to interview you about your experiences and preserve them for future generations of students. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Kauffman or Mr. Fedders and Katy.Kauffman@ankenyschools.org or Lyle.Fedders@ankenyschools.org.
