Ram Page

Last Friday, the Rams baseball team competed in the District tournament in Prairie. The Rams had a great day of baseball claiming a win against Merino 3-2 to move on to the championship game. The game against Haxtun was a rollercoaster to watch, with the Rams leading in the beginning, falling behind and then pulling away at the end with a 17-12 win to secure their spot as District Champs!

The Rams will host Regionals on Saturday, May 10th, playing Sargent at 10am.

Come out and support the Rams!!

Last Friday, we hosted our JV tournament. Zaya Wells took 4th place with a 58, Rylee placed 13th with a 67, Josie Shook shot a 69 for 15th, and Addy Lundquist shot a 70 for 16th.

Special thanks to the Town of Akron, Aaron Lambertson, Kayla Miles, Sam Hernandez, the golf course crew, golf parents, and those who let us borrow carts.

Regional golf will be held Monday, May 12th in Fort Morgan.

Great job, ladies!

On Tuesday, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Sage and their preschoolers attended the WOW Children's Museum in Layafette. Students engaged in many activities like a dinosaur exhibit, a pretend doctors office, a chair lift and the bubble machine.

Although a little rainy, Wednesday turned out to be a great day for a zoo trip! The Kindergarten classes and their teachers explored the zoo with their friends and parents. The students loved seeing the giraffes, lions, penguins and watching the elephant show.

Each year, the Preschool students have the opportunity to transition to the Kindergarten classrooms for part of the day. The students are introduced to Mrs. Davisson and Mrs. Poss and get a chance to do some art, explore the classrooms and the kids favorite, play on the big kids playground!

While the Preschool is visiting the Kinder rooms the Kindergarten students get to go back to Preschool and enjoy playtime with Mrs. Blake and Mrs. Sage.

Thursday, our GT students attended the Ultimate Celebration at NJC. This years theme was 'Celebrating Creativity". Students created choreographed musical phrases from images and sounds, learned moves to be ready to rock the dance floor and created the "BIG" picture using different visual arts and techniques.

Mr. Halls 7th grade science class is testing for amylose in a Investigate Organic Molecules Lab.

Recently, our High School Building Trades class was asked to redo two boards for the Washington County Sheriffs Office. The class designed and built a board for employee pictures and a patch board to display patches from law enforcement agencies across the globe.They love how the boards turned out and are extremely thankful to the Akron High School Building Trades Class for doing this project for them. To show their appreciation Sheriff Furrow presented a check to the class as a donation for future projects.

They have also been working on a 8' x 12' shed and 6' foot base cabinet. Both items are for sale!
