Congratulations to the Acorn Lady Tigers on earning District Runner-Up in the 2A-4 District Championship after a hard-fought battle against the Hackett Lady Hornets!

Best of luck to the team as they continue their postseason run—go get 'em, Lady Tigers!

Donations are greatly appreciated: Drop off location will be the Elementary Office from May 1 - May 8 ! All donations will directly benefit the Acorn Lady Tigers Softball Team as they travel to compete at Regionals. To help reduce the out-of-pocket expenses for our athletes and their families, we have reserved a house for the team and will be providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout their stay. Your support will go a long way in making this experience more affordable and enjoyable for our Lady Tigers. Thank you for your generosity!
