Best April Fool's Day prank EVER!!!! Our twins, Haisley and Hendricks completely fooled us today by swapping identities!

Wow! The junior high and high school had an amazing field trip today. The Red Hot Chili Pipers were rocking the energy level and our students stood, clapped, sang and even jumped for a solid hour. Our ears were ringing after, but it was a great concert. We stopped and played at a park because there is no age limit to having fun at a park and then went bowling where some students showed their skills and others found out they have to work on their skills. It was a banner day. As one kid said, as he was getting off the bus, "Can we press rewind and do that again?" Have a great Easter break everyone!

Spring Break

We had an incredible Science Fair this year! This year, we had 35 total projects and the opportunity to team up with Luther School, which made it even more special. Our students truly impressed us with their creativity, problem-solving skills, hard work, and scientific thinking. Congratulations to all our participants- and a special shoutout to our winners!

The Junior High and High School had their 3rd Quarter Awards Assembly yesterday and the achievements at Absarokee Schools keep rolling in. Our Honor Roll students are showing the importance of good grades and our 4.0 students are excelling in academics . The high school 4.0 crew are also trying their hand at amateur comedy. We also celebrated the Physical Education Student of the Quarter and the Students and Staff of the Quarter. It's always a good day to be a Husky!
