Join us in celebrating an extraordinary achievement for our former student, Blayne Bedard! Down at Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming, Blayne put together two masterful rides to claim the Women’s Ranch Bronc Championship (WRBC) World Title! This historic win caps off an unbelievable "Triple Crown" sweep for Blayne, who also earned both the WRBC Canadian Season Championship and the WRBC Canadian Finals Championship this year.

Blayne’s journey to the top of the world stage is a story of pure grit, focus, and mental toughness. After facing a tough buck-off at the finals in Cheyenne last year, she spent the past season focusing heavily on her mental game. That dedication paid off in the ultimate redemption story. On Saturday, she kicked off her championship run with a 70-point ride aboard Quiet Prairie—the exact same horse that bucked her off the year before! She followed that up on Sunday with a round-winning 75-point ride aboard Bugatti, finishing with a commanding 145 points on two head to secure the gold buckle.

Blayne’s dedication shines just as brightly in her studies as it does in the rodeo arena. The daughter of a former bull rider, she started her rodeo path in steer riding before transitioning to broncs four years ago. After graduating as Valedictorian at Acme in 2023, she went on to Lakeland College in Vermilion, where she earned her Animal Health Technology Diploma.

Reflecting on her mindset going into the finals, Blayne shared, "Just take a horse for a horse, no matter where you are. It’s just you and that horse – make that ride, ride what they give you."

We could not be more proud of Blayne’s remarkable work ethic, resilience, and humble heart. She is a true inspiration to our entire school family and community!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Grade 9 student Joni Page for her phenomenal achievements through Summer Synergy and at the Calgary Stampede! Hosted by the Olds Regional Exhibition in partnership with the Calgary Stampede, Summer Synergy is a premier youth livestock showcase designed to empower the next generation of agricultural leaders by testing their well-rounded industry skills.

​Joni proved her exceptional versatility, work ethic, and dedication during the showcase by showing her steer, participating in team grooming, mastering multi-judging, and presenting a comprehensive marketing project. Her outstanding performance throughout these rigorous components earned her a coveted advancement to the Calgary Stampede.

​While at the Stampede, Joni completed a formal panel interview, attended the celebrated youth livestock events and BBQ, and was officially awarded a beautiful, custom Stampede belt buckle alongside a $1,000 education scholarship.

​This is a monumental achievement, as Joni stood out in a highly competitive field to become one of only 19 intermediate competitors selected from a pool of at least 50 talented youth to receive this honor.

​Congratulations, Joni, on this well-deserved recognition and for representing the future of agriculture with such excellence!

We are pumped to be offering our fifth annual co-ed Rustlers x Camp 3D Basketball Summer Camp! We are excited to be back in the new Acme School gym and spend another few days together this summer making great memories, building confidence, and becoming better basketball players.

Over the past five years, we've watched something pretty special grow. Through camps, clinics, scrimmages, and countless hours in the gym, we've built a community that goes far beyond basketball. Kids who first came through camp as nervous young players are now returning as fifth-year leaders, pouring into the younger athletes around them. It's exactly what we hope for as coaches.

Seeing former campers and college athletes come back to invest in the next generation reminds us that we're building something exciting, sustainable, and strong.

Our goal has always been to develop durable athletes—not just basketball players. We want kids who compete hard, lead well, handle adversity, and leave camp more confident than when they arrived.

This year's coaching staff is an all-star lineup of coaches who care deeply about our communities and our athletes. Long after camp ends, players continue reaching out for advice, sharing milestones, and leaning on these coaches. Those relationships matter, and they help shape the character and confidence we see growing in our athletes year after year.

Camp Details

Grades: 7–12
Dates: August 5–7
Time: 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Please pass this email and the camp poster along to any families who may be interested. We'd love to have them join us.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out by email at: [email protected].

We can't wait to get back in the gym and continue helping young athletes become proud of where they come from, confident in who they are, and relentless in how they compete.

Where grit meets glory.

The Acme-Linden U13 soccer squad headed to Provincials this past weekend, and they gave the community a tournament to remember. The weekend started with some tough battles, and while the scoreboard didn't fall their way for the first two games, this team showed what they are truly made of. Instead of letting their heads down, they shook it off, locked in, and saved their absolute best performance for last.

In their final match, the team exploded onto the pitch, putting on an absolute clinic and walking away with a massive 6-0 shutout victory. It was a perfect demonstration of grit and determination, proving that it is not how you start a tournament, but how you finish it. Beyond the incredible final score, the weekend was packed with unbeatable team spirit, tons of laughs, and fantastic memories made both on and off the field.

A huge shout-out goes to their dedicated coaches and the loud-and-proud parent cheering section that supported the team every step of the way. Most importantly, congratulations to the incredible players who represented the communities Acme and Linden with pride, heart, and a fantastic attitude. Everyone is incredibly proud of this group, and we cannot wait to see them bring that same energy to school in the fall!

Have a great summer kids and congratulations on a great soccer season!
