Happy Veterans Day! Today, we honor all who served.
To our veterans and their families, thank you for your dedication, courage, and sacrifice. We are deeply grateful for the freedoms you have protected and the example you set.

Reminder: Picture re-takes are November 18th
Seniors considering going to college, tech school, or trade school:
The FAFSA is the online form to fill out to see what federal and state aid a student qualifies for. You can do this form anywhere you have access to the internet. There will be a FAFSA night on Tuesday Dec 17th at 6p in the HS cafeteria to give access to the internet for those who need it. Both a parent and the student will need to create an FSA ID at least 3 days prior to filling out the FAFSA. It is your electronic signature. There is more information about Financial Aid and the FAFSA on the Alcona college and career page that will walk you through the process.
We hope to see you there!

Did you know the month of October was farm to school month? Here at Alcona Community Schools we provide fresh ingredients for the students to try right from our school gardens! This year the elementary school has grown 563 pounds of fresh produce for the students; from tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans to summer and winter squash. All of the produce is grown, harvested, and consumed by our elementary students. The produce is used during lunch for tastings and cooked into their meals. #alconaschools #foodcorps

Alcona's National Honor Society hosted another successful Coffee for Veterans event Sunday with a tailgate party theme for the Lions game. Veterans had a field goal contest and cornhole competition for prizes. Bonnie Baker created a Quilts of Valor panel, which was given to the oldest veteran in attendance, Tom Heatly, 85-years-old. Our next event will be Sunday, December 1st, from 2 to 4 pm. Please share with any veteran family members and friends.
