Seventh graders are learning about the National FFA Organization in Ag Exploratory class. This week they are learning about the official dress that is required of FFA members and how to tie a tie. Looking sharp 7th graders!

🚨 GAME ADDED. ENERGY REQUIRED. 🚨

We’ve added a game to the Varsity Boys Basketball schedule!
Join us at HOME at 5:30 PM tomorrow, February 12, as we take on Marquette Catholic in what’s shaping up to be a high-energy showdown. Pack the stands. Bring the noise. Wear the purple. 🦅💜🖤

New Albin Elementary Preschool Open House will be held on February, 23rd from 3:00PM to 6:00PM.

Jam and salsa has arrived. It will be ready for pick up and deliver Monday after school. FFA members please make arrangements to get it picked up and delivered ASAP. Big shout out to Weezy for letting the FFA Chapter invade the library and for helping sort it all. Thank you!

🏀 Senior Night 🏀
Tonight we celebrate our 9 basketball seniors as we host Clayton Ridge at home with JV starting at 4:00 PM!
Come early, be loud, and help us recognize these athletes for their dedication and hard work.

🚜🌍 Ever wondered how farming works on the other side of the world? In June 2028, the Lansing FFA members along with fellow Kee High students are headed to Belgium & the Netherlands 🇧🇪🇳🇱 and you could be part of it. If you’re an ag student in 7th–10th grade and love: 🌱 agriculture ✈️ travel 🌎 new cultures …this opportunity is calling your name. Missed Mr. Rankin's emails? No stress, it’s not too late! 📧 Email Mr. Rankin to get the details for the interest meeting February 19th. Big world. Big opportunities. 🌍 Don’t just learn about agriculture, experience it.

Future engineers at work! This past week, Mrs. Cotas 6th grade science students have learned about thermal energy transfer and insulation materials. They are using that information to design, test, and refine water bottles/thermos containers. Once they complete their product, they will add hot water and measure the temperature to see how much the temperature changed over a period of time. We are excited to find out which design/insulating materials are the best for minimizing thermal energy transfer.

National School Counseling Week shines a spotlight on the important work school counselors do to support students’ growth, well-being, and future success.

Our school district is proud to recognize Mrs. Hailey Harms-Stortz, whose compassion, dedication, and commitment make a difference in the lives of our students every day. Thank you for being such an essential part of our school community!

Yeah… that really happened.

It's never too cold for ice cream is it? 7th grade Ag Exploratory made homemade ice cream last week in class. They made a variety of flavors. Each student made their own flavor and added what they wanted.
