Alcona 8th Graders buried time capsules today. They plan to dig them back up in spring of 2025 when they are graduating.
The district wanted to apologize for the early call yesterday with a reminder about the last day of school. It was scheduled to go out later in the PM, not AM. A setting was accidentally not adjusted. Thank you for your understanding. Again, not intentional.

Due to shipping delays, the shirts our PTO ordered for our elementary field day tomorrow will not be in. Students can wear something comfortable to participate for the events and we will have a class color event when the shirts arrive. Apologies for the change of plans!

Our 3rd grade elementary engineers completed their erosion restoration project last week. Through this place based stewardship project students read informational text about soil types and structure, studied soil types, built dam wall models, measured area and developed a solution to the erosion that occurred to our holding pond and nature trail. They worked so hard to complete this project for their community! Thanks to MISTEM, Werner Sand and Gravel and the NEMIGLSI network for their project support.
