🌱✨ Exciting news from Harrisville Harbor! Alcona High School students, in collaboration with Michigan State University Extension and local partners, have transformed a struggling rain garden into a thriving green space. This innovative project, aimed at reducing stormwater runoff into Lake Huron, showcases the power of community and student engagement. After facing challenges with invasive weeds and water management, the students' hard work has paid off, successfully capturing runoff and promoting biodiversity. Kudos to everyone involved in making Harrisville Harbor a greener place!

Students participating in the after school cooking and crafts program made strawberry shortcake last week. It was a yummy treat to celebrate the end of the program for this year.
This GREAT group of young men and women traveled to Hudsonville to compete in the Division 4 state finals today. They all competed very well...our Alcona hearts were full of pride. Karsen Gonyea, Garrett Somers, and Jeremiah Bullis all earned All-State honors in the 100 meter Dash. Karsen Gonyea also earned All-State honors in the long jump and 4 X 100 meter relay. Garrett Somers added All-State honors in the 200 meter dash and 4 X 100 meter relay. Jeremiah Bullis wrapped up his terrific season adding All-State honors in the 4 X 100 meter dash as well.

Shako Fundraiser!!!
$5/shako or $10/3 shakos
The band room has too many hats. These shakos were part of the original Alcona Marching Band uniform from back in the day! Since we have newer uniforms these old shakos are taking up too much space. Sizes available are S,M,L,XL. Plumes not included.
Cash or check. Checks can be made out to Alcona Community Schools. You may reserve a shako by emailing me at pendergrasse@alconaschools.net or by simply replying to this post. I can send them home with students or they may be picked up in the band room after school next Monday. I can also leave them in the main office if you need an arranged day/time for pick up.
All proceeds from this sale will go toward the purchase of new marching band shoes as ours are quite old and rugged!
