On Monday night, members of the Akron School Board joined other school board members from our area at the NE BOCES All Board Retreat held in Yuma. The focus of the retreat was on the great career pathway and graduate profile work happening in the NE BOCES schools, made possible through grants secured by NE BOCES. The evening highlights included presentations from NE BOCES Executive Director, Tamara Durbin, representatives from Colorado Education Initiative, and a five member superintendent panel. Board members were able to ask questions and learn about the great work happening in our NE BOCES schools.

Congratulations to our winners, Rylee Roseberry 1st place and Kason Brent 2nd place. These students, along with the alternates, will attend the regional spelling bee on Wednesday, February 7.

Good luck Rams!

Ms. Lowry and select students from our middle school and high school traveled to Holyoke to participate in honor band. They participated in the concert held in the evening.

Great job Rams!

The Akron Knowledge Bowl competed in Sterling on Monday. There were two teams, a first team and a second team with only two members. Team 1 started off in first place after the written round. After a tough oral round they slipped into the second room, but battled back to 3rd place for the meet. Team 2 did well competing with just two members.

Both teams are headed to regionals this weekend at University High School in Greeley.

It is a great day to be an Akron RAM! Akron FBLA attended the District Leadership Conference today and had a great time competing, networking, and improving their leadership skills. Congratulations, Carley Hase and district officers, for putting on a fantastic conference! Please congratulate the following students. Next stop STATE!

Akron hosted Caliche last Friday for the last White Out Night. Both boys and girls got the win and a lot of support was shown to the Couch family.

On Saturday, the teams traveled to Simla. The girls won and the boys lost.

The teams will travel this weekend to Grant, Nebraska and then to Merino for the battle of the Rams.

Go Blue!

The middle school wrestlers traveled to Merino on Monday and had some great mat time. The boys are gaining a lot of experience. They will travel to Holyoke with the high school on Thursday.

Go Rams!

The MS girls hosted the Akron Middle School Tournament.

Here are the results:
B team:
Lost to Sterling
Lost to Merino
…gained a lot of experience
A team:

In Yuma, the girls struggled. All teams lost but gained a lot of experience. The girls now have a much earned break and will be back in action next Thursday, February 8 in Brush.

Go Rams!
