ACMS ANNOUNCEMENTS 

Good morning Asa Clark Middle School!  Today is Thursday January 21st.  Please stand as we say the pledge of allegiance…

• We would like to give a shout-out and a thank you to all our Caribou Math Contestants as they put in extra time and efforts to compete against students from around the world in mathematics. Our current leaders for 6th grade are Noah Altenberger, Owen Hansen, and Rujuta Paranjpe and our current leaders in 7th and 8th grade are Benjamin Varner, Maxwell Smith, and Thomas Cutler. Congratulations and keep up the great work! 

• Congratulations to the 7th Grade Asa Clark Boys Basketball Teams. Both the Red and the Black teams finished the season with 7 wins and 0 losses. Last week the teams squared off in the classic Red vs. Black game. Black jumped out to an early lead scoring twice in the opening thirty seconds. Black's sharp passing game kept them in the lead until midway through the 2nd period when Red's tenacious half-court defense created turnovers and helped them take a 1-point lead into halftime.

In the second half, both teams left everything on the court. With multiple lead changes, every possession felt critical. Red held a 36-33 lead with just 2 minutes left but came up empty on two consecutive possessions. Black capitalized and hit two long-range shots to take a 39-38 lead with under a minute remaining. However, Red hit a late shot under pressure to take home a 40-39 victory!

• Wrestling practice will run from 2:30-5:00.

• Robotics Club will meet from 2:30-3:45.

Happy Birthday today to Aubree Kopacz.  Happy birthday yesterday to Avery Borkenhagen and Mrs. Whelan!

Have a great day and remember...It’s A Great Day To Be A Pirate!
