Hope to see you Tuesday for Family Night Fun at the Book Fair!!

Because we......

• Welcome Back, Alumni! Graduates return to their old stomping grounds to reconnect and celebrate.
• Show Your School Spirit! Students past and present come together to cheer, celebrate, and share their school pride.
• Game Time! The festivities often center on a big fall game, traditionally football on the home field.

As it does every year, the Lost & Found Station has been filling up! Please check out the two pictures below to see if we have your stuff!!!

The junior high football team won in Merino 44-6. It was a rainy game to begin with and everything was soaked, but the boys played well and ended up earning a win. All the kids got to play in the game and the younger kids played very well!

All in all, it was a great day to be an Akron Ram! Go Blue!

On September 18, the Pom Girls hosted their mini pom clinic with a practice and performance during halftime of the varsity football game. Their day started with a warmup then stretching, and moved on to rotating stations to work on various skills of splits, turns, jumps, and pom arms. We finished with a snack where they later joined us that evening to get performance ready with their ponytails. We had an absolute blast performing with our minis! They worked hard, danced hard, "battled" with our P-O-N-Y-T-A-I-L, and most importantly, had fun!

Akron 5th graders attended the Lower South Platte Children’s Water Festival this week, joining students from surrounding schools for a fun, hands-on day of learning! Students rotated through 10 educational stations presented by organizations including the Fire Department, Morgan County Extension, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, and Highline Electric Association.

Throughout the day, students explored everything from how we use water in our daily lives and water rights, to surface tension, salt vs. fresh water, and water safety. They even enjoyed a hot dog lunch midway through the day before heading back out for more activities. It was a great opportunity to learn just how important water is—and have some fun along the way! 💦

Our 5th-grade Fry Word Coaches are working with students in grades 1–3 to help them practice and pass off their Fry sight words. These high‑frequency words are an important part of building reading fluency, and our older students are doing a wonderful job encouraging and supporting younger readers.

We also invite families to continue practicing Fry words at home. Each time students master a new set of words, they get to move their French fry on our hallway bulletin board to show their progress. It’s motivating, confidence‑building, and a great way for students to see how their hard work adds up.

Thank you for partnering with us to help our readers grow fry by fry.
