After getting rained out last month our HS FFA class was able to hold the annual "Ag Olympics" at the middle school today! Thanks to Mr. Abbas and the HS FFA for organizing such a fun event!!










After weeks of crummy weather, we weren’t sure Mother Nature would cooperate for our 7th grade field trip to Calkins Nature Center today! The morning looked questionable, but the weather turned around, and we had a great day enjoying the outdoors! 🌳🍂☀️










All of the kindergarten through 4th grade students surprised one of our locals with cards and pictures when he went on the Honor Flight! Now we are paying it forward raising funds for the organization that flies veterans to Washington D.C. Thanks to the AGWSR HS student council and HS boys basketball team for organizing and serving at this event! Hope to see you there!

Ag in the Classroom came to the kindergarten classroom to teach us about farm animal families and what all animals need.


Mrs Culver's class enjoyed meeting the firefighters and learning more about fire safety today! Riding in the big red fire truck, trying on the turnout gear and squirting the fire hose was a big hit! Thank you Ackley Fire Department!! More pictures to come! (#1)
