We are excited to have students back in the building and we are looking forward to a great 2021-2022 school year. This year we are emphasizing being "Akron Proud". At our start of year assembly with our secondary students, we talked about realizing all the good things we have around us and the importance of being grateful. We have a great history, amazing community, a beautiful facility, caring staff members, great students, and numerous student opportunities to take advantage of and ways to get involved. Realizing all that a person has, helps to foster gratitude, which in turn improves a person's perspective and attitude. Our attitude is something we have complete control over everyday. We have a variety of activities planned for the year that will promote being "Akron Proud". Join us as we emphasize being "Akron Proud"!

We were excited to welcomed our 6th -12th grade students back to school on Monday, August 16th.

On Wednesday, August 18th, we welcomed our PK - 5th grade students to their first day of school by having them assemble on the baseball field.

School picture forms will be going home with PK-5th grades students today, Thursday, August 26th and with 6th-12th grade students on Monday, August 30th.

Parents with children that are not yet school age, can have their child's picture taken between 7:40 a.m. and 8 a.m. on September 1st.

Elementary Principal, Mrs. Kendra Anderson started a wonderful tradition here a few years ago of recognizing students and staff on their birthday with a birthday ribbon.

On August 10th, we started our first teacher inservice day with a field trip to the Akron town museums that included the Prairie View District 43 one room school house, rock building, and the train station dormitory. Our teaching staff was treated to presentations from longtime Akron teachers Richard Parker and Eva Bruns. Special thanks to Henrietta Uhlenhopp for helping organize this event and Dale Baker for helping during the presentations.

We concluded a busy week of inservice activities on August 12th with an evening spent with wonderful people, conversation and food. Thank you to our school board and former staff members for making these types of connections with our current staff a priority! A big thanks to the Akron Elks for preparing an excellent meal.

No Complaining Challenge

Go a week without complaining about anything and see how it changes your life.

Instead of complaining about what you don't have, appreciate what you do have. Instead of complaining about other people, think about something good about them. Instead of complaining about problems, look for solutions. Focus on the positive and help overcome negativity.

Can you go a week without complaing?
