Today’s pep rally was full of energy, teamwork, and school spirit as we celebrated and sent off our NYO State qualifiers! 💪🎉
From a tarp turnover challenge (while standing on it 😳), to a fast-paced scooter relay, an intense tug-of-war, and even carrying a basketball without using hands, our students showed determination and had a blast every step of the way! 🏁🏀
We wrapped it all up with our classic chant:
“Imagine, Believe, Achieve.....GOOO AKLAQS!” 🙌
Good luck at State! we’re proud of you! 💙

News Site families and students: Please be prepared for snow machine transportation to school due to drifting between the school and the new site. For safety reasons, students who are not properly dressed for the ride will not be permitted to travel by sled. We will try to honor the same times for the rides, but most likely be a little late. -Mr. Reid Jackowick

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. 💙
