Did you know that January is School Board Appreciation Month?

Our school district continues to be blessed with great school board members who are passionate about supporting our students, staff, and community. Please make sure you reach out and let them know how much you appreciate their volunteer service. Akron School Board: Andy Molt, President; Fred Raish, Vice President; Megan Bower, Secretary; Barney Filla, Treasurer; and Pat O’Neil, Director.

Thanks to Central Plains for their generous donation to the athletic program.

We feel very fortunate to be able to offer a CDL class to some of our senior students as part of our career pathways program. This opportunity was made possible through the Rural Coaction Grant secured through Northeast BOCES and through a partnership with Northeastern Junior College.

The Akron Knowledge Bowl teams hosted the first annual Akron Community Trivia Night on January 20th in the cafetorium. Six teams registered from around town, and after dinner, competed in 10 rounds of trivia. Congratulations to the winning team, the Knowin’ Bowins!

A special thank you to the businesses who sponsored this night: Bank of Colorado, Five Star, Alan Baer Insurance, and Filla Honey.

On Monday night the middle school girls traveled to Haxtun to take on the Bulldogs. The A, B and C teams all came away with wins!

The girls traveled to Caliche on Tuesday. The B & C teams lost, but the A team defeated the Buffaloes 48-22.

The girls will travel to Sterling on Thursday and host games against Merino, Wiggins and Sterling on Monday.

Go Blue!

Our middle school wrestlers got some valuable mat time as they hosted a wrestling tournament on Monday, January 22. Nine teams competed in the tournament and the boys showed much improvement.

Go Blue!

The HS basketball teams are showing much growth and are continuing to work hard. Both girls and boys lost to Yuma last weekend but are looking for some wins this weekend against Caliche and Simla.

Mrs. Hess and the preschool students enjoyed dropping different types of ball from the balcony to see how many times they bounced. Some good guesses were made and the students enjoyed the activity.
