Last month the Alcona Animal Clinic hosted a talent tour for 5 juniors and seniors, focusing on career opportunities related to Veterinary Services. Dr. Kathy Jo Schwartz, the clinic's founder, led the tour, introducing her staff and showcasing the various aspects of the clinic's operations. Students saw how animals are checked in, examined, and treated for different conditions. They observed procedures such as x-rays and teeth cleanings, while also learning about the equipment and safety protocols involved. Thank you to the Alcona Animal Clinic and Michigan Works for making this possible! For more information see the Michigan Works Talent Tour article.
Alcona NHS's last Coffee for Veterans will be Saturday, May 5th from 12 to 2pm at the Sugar Shack. Please see the attached special event flyer.
Thank you to Ms. Smith's 5th grade class for reading to our GSRP students! #alconaschools #tigerpride
The Electric Tigers E-sports team took a victory yesterday against Belding High School for their last game of the Super Smash Brothers season. The Tigers, (4-4) ended their season in 76th place out of over 200 teams, but narrowly missed the playoffs. The Electric Tigers’ Rocket League team will be in action on Thursday teams for their final game of the regular season, hosting Byron Center High School. The Tigers have a 4-3 record in Rocket League and are currently in 31st place out of 108 teams in Michigan, with a playoff berth in the balance of the outcome of Thursday’s match. Lastly, our partnership with the Pied Piper school in Alpena has been very successful with numerous Alcona players pitching in to play Mario Kart in the Unified League. Our thanks to Adalai Liebler, Darren Boyat, Geni Kirk and Abel Birk for making that program work this spring for the youth at Pied Piper. #alconatigers #tigerpride #esports
