Alcona County's Conservation Officer, Jesse Grzechowski, was at Alcona High School today and taught basic wilderness survival skills to Mrs. Hechlik's English in the Real World and English I classes. English in the Real World students are planning an ultimate fall road trip and learned how to prepare. Additionally, English I students are focusing on the guiding question: What does it take to survive? All students learned about a "survival mindset", the "C"s of Survival Gear, and effective campsite considerations.

Regarding Varsity Football in Au Gres on Friday, October 6:
Friday at 7:00 pm is a big varsity football game with the Alcona Tigers being hosted by the Au Gres Sims Wolverines! It is also a special night to recognize our current and past military.
The Arenac County Veterans Affairs would like to honor our military by paying for their admittance and a guest into the football game. The only thing that is asked is that military personnel provide ID of their military service.
In addition, a voucher will also be provided to military personnel for a trip to the concessions!
Thank you to our current and past military heroes who continue to give today. We owe you unending gratitude for your service!
