The Rev Report - February 13, 2026
Dear ABRHS Community,
On our last day before February Break, the school was alive with singing valentines, carnation deliveries, Junior Prom sales, and a jazz performance in the lobby! Our library has been closed the past two days, as we work to move the bookshelves to open up more space. Students were still able to check out materials, and the library will fully re-open when we return from break. Also, at our Artificial Intelligence Forum today, students shared their perspectives as we work to create an AB Artificial Intelligence Vision for the future.
When we return to school after break, students and staff will start to talk about course selection for next school year. I hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable February Break!
Student Spotlight Series - JSU, Jewish Student Union
On Wednesday, AB Students for Equity and Justice (ABSEJ) showcased students from our JSU (Jewish Student Union) in their Student Spotlight Series. Students shared their stories and experiences, highlighting the joys and challenges of being Jewish in today’s world. We also enjoyed hearing about the celebrations and community gatherings the students highlighted. We applaud our students for sharing their perspectives and making our community better.
Holidays
Monday, February 16, is Presidents Day. This day was established to honor President George Washington and, now, celebrates all U.S. presidents. Happy Presidents Day!
