St. Patrick's Day shenanigans from the elementary school!
National Honor Society, the home of service, character, leadership, and scholars house twelve new members. Induction into the NHS is an accomplishment among peers; a show of those who desire to aid the community, even in spite of the effort required. Excellence is simply a want by most; for the NHS, it is a desire. Congratulations, and welcome new members.
Congratulations to this weeks Pax Leaders!

Today our K–12 students had a great visit from Garrett with Eagle Mount! He shared about the organization’s programs and the many ways they create opportunities for individuals with disabilities to get involved in outdoor recreation and stay active. Students even got the chance to try out a sit ski, giving them a hands-on look at how adaptive equipment makes skiing accessible for everyone. Thank you to Garrett and Eagle Mount for an engaging and inspiring presentation!

On March 21, people around the world wear bright, mismatched socks to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. The date (3/21) represents the three copies of the 21st chromosome found in people with Down syndrome, and socks were chosen because chromosomes can resemble socks. The Absarokee Unified Club invites you to rock your socks and celebrate inclusion!
Friendly reminder that all Juniors will be taking the state-required ACT test with Mrs. Reissig on Tuesday, March 24.
The Absarokee Middle school competed in the US Dept of Energy Big Sky Regional Science Bowl Thursday March 5th. Team 2 placed 7th and Team 1 placed 3rd overall. A big thank you goes out to Holly Martin and Catherine Frazer for their help.
Absarokee Junior High and High School had a fantastic week celebrating Inclusion Week with dress-up days organized by our Unified Club! The week was full of school spirit, laughter, and a strong reminder of the importance of inclusion in our school community.

It was wonderful to see so many students and staff participating and showing their support throughout the week.
Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make Inclusion Week such a success!
