The ABO School District would like to extend its sincere gratitude to Thomas Ranches for their generous donation of ground beef to our school lunch program. Their support helps provide quality meals for our students, and we greatly appreciate their generosity.
The district would also like to recognize and thank CHS River Plains for their generous contribution toward the purchase of a new stage mat for the main gym. We are excited to put it to use, and the community will have an opportunity to see it when volleyball season begins this August.
We are truly fortunate to be part of a community with such dedicated and generous supporters. Thank you once again to Thomas Ranches and CHS River Plains for your continued investment in our students and our school. Your support makes a meaningful difference.

Dear ABO School District Patrons,
The Central Prevention Resource Center (CPRC) at Capital Area Counseling Service (CACS) is excited to launch their 2026 Community Needs Assessment, and we're asking for your help as a resident across the CACS service area.
This assessment is an important opportunity for residents to share their perspectives on community strengths, challenges, and needs related to mental health, substance use prevention, and overall community well-being. The information collected will help guide future prevention priorities, strengthen partnerships, and inform programs and services throughout our region.
The survey is confidential, takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete, and is open through August 31, 2026.
Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CPRCCommSurvey
The goal is to hear from at least 500 community members representing our entire 15-county region:
Buffalo, Dewey, Edmunds, Faulk, Haakon, Hand, Hughes, Hyde, Jones, Lyman, Potter, Stanley, Sully, Walworth, and Ziebach counties.
We thank you for your continued partnership and your commitment to strengthening the health and well-being of our communities. Together, we can ensure every community in our 15-county region has a voice in shaping the future of prevention, mental health, and community well-being.
Respectfully,
The ABO School District & CACS

The Heinz Sports Performance Camp was a huge success! We had an outstanding turnout with 16 Charger boys, 16 Charger girls, and 4 visiting athletes from Timber Lake participating. Macy Heinz put everyone through an excellent workout focused on footwork, speed, agility, and quickness. Our athletes worked incredibly hard all morning, and Macy got to see just how competitive and determined our Chargers are.
We are so grateful to everyone who participated and helped make the camp such a great experience. The hard work and dedication shown today will undoubtedly pay off, and we’re excited to see our athletes continue to grow and enjoy successful seasons this year and for years to come!
