It is hard to tell from the weather but December is here. Students and staff remain busy as we work toward finishing the last three weeks of the semester before Christmas break. High school winter sports seasons will kick off their first contests this week. We encourage you to come out and support our Akron teams. Speaking of support, don't miss out on joining us on Monday at 6 p.m. for our elementary Christmas program.

On Tuesday, November 23rd our students and staff gave back to the community with a free soup lunch and bingo games for our senior citizens. Lunch was also provided to those who could not attend through mobile meals. A big thank you to Mr. Randel and students who helped organize and prepare for this event.
Great job Rams!

On Tuesday, November 23rd, our 4th grade students put on a balloon parade for the elementary.

Congratulations to our own Caleb Moormeier who competed at the State Fall Classic Bowling Competition!

State Bowling appearance yields medals and smiles
By special report
Special Olympics Colorado hosted the State Fall Classic Bowling Competition on Saturday, November 20 at the AMF Belleview Lanes in Englewood, Colorado. The Northeast Bowlers (composed of “Athletes” and “Partners” through Northeast Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) Unified Champion Schools (UCS) Special Olympics bowling program) was represented by five Athletes and one Partner at State.
Different sessions accommodated the approximately 900 bowlers from across the state for the State competition; Northeast Bowlers were part of the 11:30am wave.
All Northeast Bowlers competed in unique Doubles divisions. Two teams from the Northeast brought home Gold medals and one team received Silver in their respective divisions. Representing the Northeast Bowlers were: Coach John Durbin, Athletes: Austin Durbin (Holyoke), Frannie Sawyer (Lone Star), Christian Gallagher (Yuma), Caleb Moormeier (Akron), Maggie Sawyer (Lone Star), Partner Kyla Pachner (Akron), and Coach Nikki Hettinger. Athlete Abraham Diaz, and Partners: Thomas Diaz and Levi Dille were unable to attend.
Everyone involved - Athletes, Partner, Coaches, family members, and friends -- enjoyed the day and the camaraderie of competition and inclusion. Special thanks to the individuals who have supported the Northeast Bowlers throughout this fun bowling season.

But history defines you by how you responded, how you learned and improved, how you made amends, how you persevered, and what you accomplished afterward.

The Akron Booster Club held the fall athletic banquet on Monday night. Boys golf, pom, volleyball, and football athletes were recognized for their achievements this year. Great job Rams!
