🌿 We’re excited to announce the completion of our new outdoor classroom! 🌿
Thanks to the Property Team dollars raised from the sale of the former Caledonia school forest, we were able to make this vision a reality. 🌲🏞️ The sale also allowed for the purchase of 43 acres and the development of a beautiful nature trail, which is open for everyone to explore after school hours. This outdoor space will serve as an inspiring setting for students to learn and engage with nature. We can’t wait to see all the learning and discovery that will happen here. 🌱 #alconaschools #tigerpride #outdoorclassroom
We have a group of parents seeking others to join their efforts and revive a youth basketball board. A meeting for interested parents in grades K-8 will be held on October 22nd at 6 pm in the middle school lobby.
🎉 Get ready for fun, it’s almost here!
Elementary students, in PJs, you'll cheer—
Cozy and cool, smiles from ear to ear! 🛏️💤
Middle and high school, your neon will show,
So bold and bright, with an awesome glow! 😎✨
We can't wait to see your school spirit tomorrow!
