The ACCHS Band took a trip to Branson where they stopped to play for a Clinician Abbie Brown at UMKC. Then they went to the Dixie Stampede. The next day the band played at Silver Dollar City (video link below) and then enjoyed the rest of the day riding ride and enjoying the park. In the evening the band enjoyed a show in Branson - The Legends. The students listen to Elvis, the Temptations, and the Blues Brothers impersonators. The next day students enjoyed some time at the Branson Landon and then headed to Lamberts to catch some hot rolls and good food.

In May a Google Form was sent to all 7th and 8th grade students for the 2024-2025 School year to get some rough numbers for participation in athletics and activities for next year. I had 76% of next years 7th and 8th graders respond to the survey. Below are the results of the survey.

In May a Google Form was sent to all 9th through 11th grade students for the 2024-2025 School year to get some rough numbers for participation in athletics and activities for next year. I had 26% of next years high school students respond to the survey. Even after putting reminders in the announcements for two weeks, I was very disappointed with the results of the survey.
