Paducah Tilghman African American Leadership Club members hosted a staff appreciation night at the Paducah Innovation Hub on November 15. AALC students invited a faculty or staff member that they wanted to honor. At the event, AALC students introduced the faculty or staff member they had invited, read a letter that they had written to honor their guest, and presented them with the letter and a gift. Thank you, PTHS AALC, for your encouragement!
