AHN's Annual Ice Cream Social was a night to remember!
From the sundae station and food from Gourmeli's Taste food truck, to our sports teams in action, information and swag tables, and selfie station, there was a little something for everyone.
Thank you to the Home School Association, Booster Club, Friends of the Arts, and all our volunteers who helped make the night such a success.
