Second grade started this week with a flight around the world. They will be traveling to 14 different countries to learn about how they celebrate the holidays! 🌲

As part of a STEM lesson for science they had to construct and build a reindeer barn.

Our Knowledge Bowl teams traveled to Gilcrest last Saturday. The varsity team came in 4th out of 23 teams (competing against 4A schools at the top). The JV had a full day of learning and, while they didn’t do as well as they wanted, enjoyed the time.

Ms. Hocheder and her students have started their final project for archaeology; a simulated dig. Students will uncover several different artifacts using tools archeologists would use like trowels, brushes and screens. They will document their finds and write a report on their findings.

This past weekend some of our National Honor Society members completed another service event. This time, students cleaned up the roadside park, planted a few bulbs, and spread new gravel along the pathway and around some plants. They then moved to the Community Garden and did some fall cleanup of that space. Thank you to Mrs. Jessica Filla for organizing, and our NHS members for helping to keep our community beautiful!!

The Akron middle and high school music students put on a very good performance for their winter concert. The high school choir students started the evening, followed by the 6th-12th grade band, and the high school jazz band finished the evening. Congratulations to Ms. Lowry and her music students!

On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Brandon, her staff and students went on their annual shopping trip to Walmart. Students earn money throughout the year by working the classroom store then they are able to spend on a gift for themselves or family members. After a morning of shopping, students worked together to build gingerbread houses. On Wednesday morning they caroled at businesses around town.

The Akron School Board was treated to a presentation from Akron FBLA. Mrs. Houston and her FBLA members shared what the program has been doing so far this year and their plans for their state and national projects and fundraising efforts.

Yearbooks are still available to purchase for the 24-25 school year. The cost to purchase a yearbook is $45.

Last Thursday, our MS boys and girls played the Idailia Wolves at home. All three levels of boys saw some time on the court and the A, B and D girls teams also got some playing time in.

On Saturday, the boys traveled to Merino for the LPAA Tournament. The first game, the boys played hard against Wiggins, but weren't able to pull off a win. They matched up with Caliche for the second game and were able to secure a victory.

Congratulations to our pom team on a great performance at the 2024 CHSAA State Spirit Championships. The girls scored 79.2 with the winning routine scoring 84.4. The team and coaches also shared some team bonding at Adam's Mystery Playhouse.
