We are so excited it is play week! Come join us for the AGWSR fall play Anchors Aweigh Nov. 14-15, 2025 at 7pm in the HS gym. Tickets are $7.

It is sink or swim for the USS Flounder and its crew as the mysterious owners of the boat are aboard the old ship to decide its fate. The Crew is in a wild fight to save their ship, while the passengers are arriving for a singles cruise and include a a famous romance novelist, her secretary who is pinning for a long lost love, a prince posing as a gangster, a couple of tired grandmas, a domineering mother and her socially deprived sons, and a whole bunch of actual gangsters. Join us for tides of laughter as you get swept away with mistaken identities, lively chase scenes, and a wild attempt to save the ship.

Thank you to Betsy Harms, an independent insurance agent with the Phillips Stafford Insurance Group, who took time out of her busy schedule to talk to 8th grade SAIL about insurance needs when owning a business. She covered an array of insurance topics and made insurance terms understandable even for beginners.

🇺🇸 Thank you to the Elliot-Keninger American Legion Post 252 of Ackley! 🇺🇸

Our AGWSR 5th graders had a meaningful experience learning about the American flag. The students were complemented for being an outstanding audience and great listeners throughout the presentation.

We’re so grateful to the American Legion Auxiliary of Ackley for sharing their knowledge, pride, and respect for our nation’s symbol. Appreciate the time that Deb Swanson, Till Woodley, Earl Akers, and Larry Wright took today to present to the our students! ❤️🤍💙
