The Akron School District recently received some new weight equipment in its weight room. The purchase of the new equipment was made possible through the generous donations of members of our community. A big thank you goes out to Glosson Construction, Alan & Lori Baer, Pat & Stephanie O’Neil, Dave & Jamie Stavely, and Buildings By Design. A big thank you also goes to Merle Grauer, who helped secure the donations and researched the equipment we wanted in the room. We are also grateful to those who helped assemble the equipment: Brock Houston, Brandon Baker, and Mr. Larry Johnson and his building trades class. This equipment will significantly benefit our students for years to come. Thank you to these generous community members and everyone who continually comes together to help our students and school. We are so fortunate.

On Friday, our elementary took part in their annual safety day. Every year members from the local emergency services put together a training presentation to inform our students about the importance of who to call in an emergency. This year the Akron Volunteer Fire Department brought two trucks and taught the kids about general fire safety. The Washington County Sheriff's Office showed students how to use the cross walks correctly and the Washington County Ambulance gave students a look inside an ambulance. The MEDEVAC Helicopter landed at the football field and students were able to sit inside.

Students who reached their AR goals were rewarded with ice cream and an extra recess on Friday!

What a fun week we have had celebrating homecoming!

Friday, the high school hosted a community lunch followed by BINGO! We had over 200 community members attend.

Mrs. Hall and her design class have been designing tiles. Each student was asked to create a tile by using a blank white ceramic tile and markers. When they were finished they learned to seal their project.

This week was National School Lunch Week!

All school lunches are FREE for students! Encourage your child to enjoy a meal at school and thank our amazing cooks for everything they do. We are so grateful for all the hard work they put into preparing healthy meals for our school and staff.

Over the weekend, our 3 cross country runners ran in Wiggins for their league meet. They continue to improve their times with Addison and Trigg Weis both setting new personal records.

Saturday the MS had their last games of the season. The A team traveled to Holyoke to play in the LPAA Tournament. The girls played 3 games, beating Sedgwick County and Holyoke and losing to Merino. They placed 2nd in their pool.
