The Akron S-CAP (Student-Centered Accountability Program) annual review will take place on Monday, November 6th. This year’s review is a one-day virtual review. The school has gained some valuable feedback from students, staff, and parents during these reviews that have taken place over the past five years. A survey link will be shared with each of the three groups. Parents, please check your email for the survey link. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will take the time to complete the survey.

On Monday and Tuesday, our Preschool-5th Grade classes visited the Pumpkin Patch in Wiggins. Students enjoyed the hayslide, pumpkin pillow, cow train ride and picking out a pumpkin. Thank you Mrs. Reid for organizing this annual field trip!

Our Elementary Rams were able to celebrate their RAM Party this week with a "Puzzle, Pop and Pringles" theme. Students were given a section of a large poster to color and snacks to enjoy.

On Wednesday the 3rd-5th grade students took advantage of the warm weather and went to the softball field for a game of Kickball!

Thank you to our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers for putting this together!

We are going to be getting some major upgrades and additions to our playground! We will be adding new equipment to our playground and having the black-top resurfaced. One exciting addition is a large climbing structure!
Thank you, Mrs. Poss and Mrs. McCaffrey for all of your hard work and Mr. Christensen and the School Board for supporting this project.

-Mrs. Smith, Elementary Principal

The Akron FFA chapter sent three students to State Range Judging in Lamar on Wednesday, October 11th, 2023. It was a great experience to see the different Range Sites and we even had a few tarantulas join in on the fun. Great job to these three gentlemen, Caleb Hansen, Mason Porteus, Jesse Davisson and Mrs. Dreitz!

Akron FCCLA attended the Northeastern Plains Fall Conference at NJC on October 11. Forty students along with their advisor Peggy Hall attended the event.
