On February 9th, 66 students from Algona Middle School displayed 54 entries for the 53rd Annual School Science Fair. This is the first year that this event was partially held during the school day, which encouraged significantly more participation. For middle school, there are two different classes- Life Projects and Physical Projects. Students spent the afternoon giving presentations to judges based on their research and findings. After a short break, family and friends were invited to view the projects prior to the awards ceremony. Congratulations to those advancing on to state!

What an amazing 3 days our band students had at 2023 UNI Northern Festival of Bands. From Thursday till Saturday we had four of our students representing Algona along with 70 other Schools with over 327 students from Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. Lots of practice and many performances they were able to watch. Great time and represented Algona so amazingly. Lots of new friendships were made.
