THANK YOU!
As a school district we recently reached out for some help in purchasing 100 yard signs and other items to uniquely recognize our senior students. It took asking for some help from our Booster Club and Lions Club for those organizations and several individuals in our Akron community to step up and cover the entire cost of the signs and other items. We feel so fortunate and grateful to have the support of an amazing community that is filled with generous people.
The Akron School District would like to thank the following: Akron Booster Club, Akron Lions Club, Patrick and Stephanie O’Neil, Fred and Dencia Raish, Mason and Kelly Hansen, and Derek Glosson.
Akron 6-12 teachers are going to present our Academic Awards throughout the week next week. Please check often as we will begin posting on Monday, May 11th. Congratulation to Mr. Clarkson's math students. Click on link to see his awards video. https://youtu.be/8wn1jYahHPA

Akron Preschool Applications:
The Akron Preschool Program is still accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year. The preschool is located in the Akron Schools at 600 Elm Avenue. The Akron Preschool Program serves children with a wide variety of needs, including children with typical development and children with special needs, in order to create a community of learners, one with an appropriate and enriching learning environment and experience for all. The daily schedule provides for a combination of whole group, small group, and individualized instruction, as well as learning through center-based activities. Children are given opportunities to interact with peers and adults in the classroom as well as during outside play. The preschool teachers are highly qualified in early childhood education. Classes are in session Monday through Thursday, with Thursday being a half day. Applications are currently available at the Akron Schools and can be picked up in the entryway at the office. It is also available on our school website under Menu and the Elementary School tab. Once completed you can either call the school and a school employee will meet you in the circle drive or you can mail it. If you have questions, please contact Akron Schools at 345-2266 and/or Annette Blake via email at a.blake@akronrams.org.
We are kicking off our senior spotlights this week with Bailee Clarkson. Proud of you Bailee!
O’Neil Places 2nd at State Essay Contest
Each year 4th graders create posters and write essays for an FCE (Family Community and Education) contest called Character Counts. The contest requires students to address one of the 6 Pillars of Character. This year students wrote about Respect.
Members of Washington County FCE select the winners and the county winner advances to the state contest. This year’s county winner was Molly O’Neil. Molly’s essay and poster about respect moved on to the State FCE contest where her entry finished 2nd. Molly will receive a prize and be recognized at a ceremony in June. We are happy to recognize Molly O’Neil and her classmates that finished in the top two positions in their classrooms.
Results from Mrs. Chapman and Ms. Hamilton’s 4th grade classrooms:
Chapman Class Winners:
Molly O’Neil- 1st
Payton Marshall-2nd
Hamilton Class Winner:
Eli Hart-1st
Reghan Dunlavy- 2nd
Congrats to Mariah DeMers for completing and receiving the Peak V Colorado FBLA chapter award.
