We stopped by one of Mrs. Lisa Young's physical education classes this morning for the last day of students’ rock-climbing unit!
It looked like fun, but don’t hold us to that because we kept our feet FIRMLY on the ground.
Young's fourth period students wrapped up class with a race between juniors Maddie King and Rebekah Clark.
First person to ring the bells was the winner - it was a close one!

There’s a new member of the 1,000-point club.
Huge congratulations to Cole Harding, who scored the 1,000th point of his varsity basketball career (and then some) last night during the Blue Devils’ 77-50 win over the Holley Hawks.
The key basket came with about 1:37 to go in the first quarter on a second effort putback to push the Blue Devils’ lead to 15-9.
With his 19-point effort against the Hawks Wednesday, Cole now has 1,013 career points and sits in third place among Attica’s all-time points leaders in boys basketball - one spot ahead of his coach, Rob Crowley, who scored 969 points for the Blue Devils from 2003 to 2006.
Congratulations, Cole, on this incredible achievement!

Our Farm to School Coordinator, Mrs. Alicia Spoth, was on the scene last Friday for our Buddy Fruit Taste Testing event during elementary, middle and high school lunches!
Buddy Fruits are blended fruit snacks that come in a variety of flavor combinations. Last week, students chose between an “Apple Orchard” or an “Apple Cinnamon” blend.
Spoiler alert - these were a hit!
Almost forgot to share this!
To celebrate our Elementary School Counselor Amanda Crowley and in honor of National School Counseling Week last week, our kiddos “posted” words of thanks, gratitude and appreciation all over Crowley’s door!
As you can see, our elementary schoolers think Mrs. Crowley is the best - we quite agree!

We’re excited to announce our 2024 Capital Project!
District residents will vote on this roughly $21 million proposal on May 21, the same day as our annual School Budget Vote and Board of Education election. If approved by voters, this capital project would have NO IMPACT on residents’ school taxes.
While we look forward to sharing more detailed information in the coming weeks and months, this capital project proposal would include health and safety upgrades, address building maintenance items and improve educational offerings for our students across our three school buildings.
Keep an eye on this page and our website for more information about this proposal!
It’s Future Farmers of America Week next week at Attica Middle School, so make sure you start planning those outfits!

The Champ Chips Jar was almost OVERFLOWING this morning at Attica Elementary School and you know what that means - time to reward all our students’ acts of kindness, perseverance, cooperation and gratitude!
Over the past few weeks, students have been voting for which teacher they wanted to see take a whipped cream pie to the face (assuming they earned enough Champ Chips, of course).
Well they did and at this morning’s assembly, it was time for pie to meet face.
A hearty congratulations to Mr. Anthony Ianni, Mrs. Sherry Bennett and Mrs. Susie Baker for “winning” the vote and getting to enjoy some early morning whipped cream.
We’re sooooo jealous!
Check out the video linked below to see our teachers get pied!
