Panthers Robotics Club Update This weekend brought plenty of excitement, challenges, and valuable lessons for our middle and high school robotics teams! Middle School Team The middle schoolers started strong, ranking 3rd out of 24 teams by lunchtime. While technical hiccups and last-minute autonomous mode development kept them out of the finals, they finished 11th overall. Lessons learned? Fine-tuning early and honing presentations can make all the difference! High School Team Our high school team faced tough technical challenges from the get-go, including scoring system malfunctions. Despite these hurdles, they remained resilient, finishing 17th out of 24 teams—an impressive feat considering their scoring mechanism was down for most of the qualifiers. Special shoutout to Team Mentor Mr. Morris, and team members Elijah, Evan, and David for their collaborative effort and determination! Also, an extra thanks to team mentors Mr. and Mrs. Manson for their wonderful guidance. Both teams gained invaluable experience, and we're excited to see their continued growth as they gear up for the state championship in Bozeman on February 7th. Stay tuned for updates, and as always, thank you for your support!

Hello, Alberton School Community! We hope your holiday break kicked off with a bang (or at least a blissful snooze), and that you’re entering 2025 wrapped in comfort and feelings of accomplishment. As we wave goodbye to 2024, we’re reflecting on all the amazing wins we’ve had this school year and gearing up for an even more pawsitive 2025 in our Panther community! Speaking of wins, we’d love to court your attention this Friday, January 3rd, as YOUR varsity basketball teams take on the Noxon Red Devils in the one and only Panther Den. The girls are tipping off at 5:30 PM, and the boys will bring the heat at 7:00 PM. The theme? Pajamas! So pull on your coziest flannel pants, rock those onesies, and don’t forget to bring some cash for the Sophomore Class' 50-50 raffle. It’s shaping up to be a slam-jam-ma pajama party you won’t want to miss! For our budding basketball stars in grades 5–8, a quick reminder: Junior High Girls Basketball starts Monday, January 6th, with practice tipping off at 4:00 PM. Make sure those sports physicals and concussion forms are squared away—if your student played a fall sport, their paperwork is already good to go for the year.
