The Athletic Committee is dedicated to the organization, administration and implementation of athletic events for Althouse students of all abilities and interests. Possible events may include but are not limited to Tuesday Intramurals and weekly pick-up sports in the Althouse gym, non-competitive fundraising tournaments, ice-skating at Thompson Arena (at low cost, sometimes free for Western students) and trips to Mustang sporting events.
The Athletic Committee welcome all suggestions on how to make this year memorable for all Althouse students. Until next time keep fit and have fun.

The Environmental Committee is responsible for creating an awareness of environmental issues. Caring for the environment is a group effort, but it starts with each person individually. The Committee is aiming for a greener school and community. We strongly encourage you to car pool with the other teacher candidates going to the same school as you. Join our facebook group to give us ideas and to find out about upcoming events.

The Diversity and Equity Committee is responsible for spreading awareness around Althouse. We hope to provide the student body with knowledge and resources to make us all better educators. This year we will be starting off the term addressing Awareness and Issues focusing on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. This will include potential workshops, guest speakers, and more! Our focus will move towards AIDS awareness near the end of the term in correspondence with World AIDS Day. This will lead us into second term where we shift over to Issues and Awareness around Culture, Race and Ethnicity. As our school systems become more diverse, it is important as teachers that we overcome any personal bias and actively work to become more aware and accepting. The Diversity and Equity Committee will help you to do this and provide you with resources you can use in your future careers.
Committee Co-Chairs
The Lesson Plan Committee was formed to establish a framework for a lesson plan database available online for all Faculty of Education students, present and future. The goal for the database is to include student-made lesson plans, as well as lesson activities, arranged by subject areas, so that the lesson or activity can be varied accordingly to the grade or level required. This committee also hopes to obtain professional lesson plans from established teachers willing to donate their plans to our database.
