This April, the English Subject Area is continuing its Reading Interest Program, a yearlong project to promote the love of reading to the students of the AJHS. Another vehicle for this program is the Shakespeare Festival (Shake Fest) with various and exciting activities for the students that will happen on the 24th-28th of April 2023. Along the same line, part of the mission of the Educational Media Center (EMC) is to promote appreciation for literature and provide the environment for learning about all kinds of book formats and resources, hence the celebration of World Book and Copyright Day (WBC Day).
