Middle school students had fun participating in cosmic-themed bowling to wrap up their bowling unit. This is the second year the school has taught bowling in middle school PE classes thanks to a grant from Bowler's Ed, which provided funding for bowling equipment and curriculum.
Albion was one of 13 schools to be awarded the grant. The district is excited for students to be able to learn a lifelong skill, as well as incorporate the equipment into family engagement events throughout the year. The bowling unit will also serve as a great segue for students interested in competing on the Unified Bowling team in high school.

Albion middle students Luci and Sutton have been hard at work on an impressive Revolutionary War research project in partnership with Orleans County. As a result of their research, they've been able to obtain multiple roadside markers, gravestone flag markers and a replace a damaged gravestone. The markers will be installed ahead of a community ceremony in the spring to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States and to honor Revolutionary War soldiers buried locally.

Ms. Messmer's 8th grade science classes have been getting creative with their Rube Goldberg projects. Teams were challenged with designing and building their own machine that accomplishes a task that involves at least 5 steps. In doing so, they exercised their problem solving and communication skills while making great connections with their force and motion knowledge.
'Tis the season! ❄️ Wonderful performances by middle school band and choir students at their holiday concert! 🎶
Students from Mrs. Feder’s middle school art classes recently painted a “chapel thermometer” to gauge community giving toward the Mt. Albion Cemetery chapel repair. Great work!🎨⛪
National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) students wrapped-up their Annual Food Drive last week. They donated all collected items to the Community Action of Orleans & Genesee in Albion to help those in need ahead of the holiday season. There are so many fantastic displays of leadership and service going on in our buildings!
Students from the Middle School History Club got a tour of the Orleans County courthouse by Associate Court Attorney Kathy Harling, and learned about the many court procedures and operations. They also met with County Judge Sanford Church to discuss his multi-faceted role as judge over county, family, and surrogate court.
The Albion Science Olympiad Team recently got to visit the Niagara Power Vista, Goat Island, The Adams Power Plant Transformer House (which was a crucial part of the first large-scale AC hydroelectric power station in the world.), the Locks at Lockport and the Big Bridge! What an awesome learning experience!
