Our NYO team is off to Golovin today! We are proud to have such talented athletes who not only compete hard but also bring amazing attitudes and personalities wherever they go.
James C. Isabell School gave them a proper send-off with the Teller classic:
“Imagine, Believe, Achieve… Go Aklaqs!” 💙
This group should be incredibly proud—they represent Teller with positivity, respect, and strong character. They are truly fantastic to be around, both on and off the competition floor.
Games begin tonight, and the free NFHS live stream will be available soon. Stay tuned and cheer on our Aklaqs from home!
Thank you for your continued support—let’s go Aklaqs! 💙

We had an amazing turnout last night with so many families joining in on the fun! Students were engaged, games were everywhere, and there were lots of prizes given out. Most importantly, there were tons of smiles all around! 😊
We enjoyed snacks and a variety of games like Connect Four, Scrabble, Sorry, and other board games—and even had a fun moment where the principal lost a game of Battleship to a student! 🎯
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the night so special. We love seeing our school and community come together like this! A special thank you to Lucy for organizing such a fun and memorable night for everyone. 💙
