Emily Green, Elementary Music Teacher, is our May Staff Spotlight!
Emily started as an Elementary Music Teacher at ACES in August 2021. She grew up in Littlestown and graduated from the Littlestown High School. Outside of teaching at her home elementary school, she is also a member of the Army Reserves and the Army Reserve Band. Recently she participated in, and competed in, the Best Warrior Competition through the Army in Fort Lee, Virginia. She competed alongside other army reserve soldiers and active soldiers. She said a high bar was set and it was a honor and privilege to participate and compete alongside other soldiers. She was asked to be on Fox & Friends recently and was able to talk about her best warrior experiences. She is fortunate to share her experiences with her students and inspire them to follow their passion. Congratulations Ms. Green!

LHS student, Cameron Flickinger (12th grade), arrived at LHS, not as a student but a firefighter, when the high school fire alarm went off earlier this week. Cameron was at the firehouse prior to his Co-Op for ACTI when the alarm went off. Cam has studied very hard with the fire department to become a junior firefighter!
