ALTOONA-MIDWAY SCHOOL DISTRICT Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BUFFALO - The Altoona-Midway School District has announced that the high school football game scheduled this Friday at Oswego has been canceled, due to low numbers available for the Jets squad.
School officials announced the decision was not related to Covid-19 concerns.
"We only have 11 players on our entire roster this season," noted Altoona-Midway activities director Jeff Almond. "We ran into a problem having enough players available for action this week. Therefore, we unfortunately had to contact Oswego and cancel."
Altoona-Midway is scheduled to resume play Friday, Sept. 25, at Chetopa.
Homecoming 09-11-2020 with Yates Center and sadly took a loss.

ALTOONA-MIDWAY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
BUFFALO – Yates Center High School is finding out that sometimes less is more.
Yates Center, dropping down from 11-man football to the 8-man version this season, found that to be to its liking Friday night, rolling to a 56-8 victory over Altoona-Midway High School here at Frank Kennedy Field.
It was also Homecoming for AMHS. Miss Natalie Davis was crowned as the 2020 homecoming queen for Altoona-Midway, and Joshua Meigs was selected as homecoming king.
Unfortunately, the homecoming ceremonies provided most of the highlights of the evening for the hosts. The Jets only score came on a 20-yard pass from Josh Meigs to Brandon Johnson. The duo also combined for a pass to complete the two-point PAT.
Meigs led the Jets with 36 yards on 12 carries, and also had 10 tackles on defense.
“We just weren’t able to get anything going from the opening kickoff,” said AMHS head coach Chad Raida. “Our line is very young, but we have to find a way to give our backs some room, and our quarterback time to throw.”
Yates Centers led 26-8 at the quarter and 48-8 at halftime. The game was called in the third period due to the mercy rule.
Altoona-Midway, now 0-2 overall, goes on the road for the first time this season, traveling to Oswego on Friday.
Tomorrow, September 15, the AMHS Volleyball team will travel to Northeast to participate in a Triangular. Play begins at 5:00 PM. Good luck lady Jets!
AMMS girls playing Altamont.
Monday Sept. 14, the AMMS Volleyball Team will travel to Altamont to play in a tri. The lady Jets will play the first two matches.

ALTOONA-MIDWAY MIDDLE SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
YATES CENTER – The Altoona-Midway Middle School volleyball team opened its 2020 fall campaign on the road Thursday afternoon, dropping both sets in a closely-contested match with the host Yates Center Lady Wildcats.
Altoona-Midway lost the first set 25-12, and then played nip-and-tuck with Yates Center in an exciting second contest before falling 26-24.
AMMS head coach Nikki Almond missed the opener due to having had possible contact for another individual who tested positive for Covid-19. However, she was happy with the report she received from assistant coach Tracey Winder and from Chary Weilert, who has stepped in to help during Almond’s absence.
“I am super proud of these girls,” Almond said. “I hated not being there, but the report from Tracey and Chary was very encouraging.
“They only had three serving errors, which is already such an improvement from last year. I cannot wait to see what they will bring to the court this season.”
Limited stats were available from the contest. Abby Relph and Olivia Goodwin both had one ace, while Relph and Lexyn Bracken each recorded a dig.
Lady Jets will return to action Tuesday, traveling to Thayer. Coach Almond is expected to return to the squad later next week.
21st Century Grant Activities. From learning to play the violin to flying kites. We have lots of activities for the students to get involved in.

Hello, everyone. As we are coming to the end of another school year, I want to say how much I enjoyed your children. I know these last few weeks have been especially crazy. I am incredibly proud of all of our students, parents/guardians, and staff who worked so hard and so well to take care of business.
I am sad that we did not get to go through these last two months with our seniors. They are a great group of young people, and they will forever be “my kids”. However, I am looking forward to next year. I cannot wait to see our kids again. I believe we will come out of all this even stronger and have a great year.
Again, I want to say thank you for everything. I hope everyone has a great summer and remains healthy and happy.
Sincerely,
Darrin Ashmore

We are off to a great start to the school year!! We were fortunate enough to receive the Kansas Preschool Pilot grant again this year. Huge thanks to the grant writer and Preschool Director, Mrs. Reazin. This grant helps pay for many things like school supplies, manipulatives, furniture, toys, equipment, cabinets and so much more. “It has been a blessing to receive the grant again,” said Kate Walker, lead Preschool Teacher, “the first year we did not have much to start with, so with this grant we can build a great program up and update many things as well.” Mrs. Walker also noted, “I think I am most excited about the new cabinets and cubbies. They give us so much more storage and they look so much better than the old cubbies.” With the grant the preschool is not only updating the classroom inside but getting an outdoor classroom incorporated as well. The preschoolers have enjoyed getting new toys, activities and play equipment throughout the year. This grant is awarded to many preschools across Kansas and this is the second year for Altoona to receive it. Mrs. Reazin said ”The KPP grant will insure that our preschool stays updated and our three and 4-years-olds are socially, emotionally, and academically ready for Kindergarten.”
The unofficial Board Meeting minute for July and August are now available on the website.
