At A-M, We Do Things!
Why We Do It...
Alumni Spotlight – Kyle Blakeman
At Anselmo-Merna School, we believe students who get involved get the most out of their school experience. Through athletics, FFA, music, One Act, Speech, SkillsUSA, JAG, and countless other opportunities, students develop skills and relationships that last far beyond graduation.
This week’s Why We Do It spotlight features A-M alumnus Kyle Blakeman.
Today, Kyle is a producer, operates a seed business, coaches youth athletics, and serves on the Anselmo-Merna Foundation Board of Directors. During his time at A-M, he participated in football, basketball, track, and 4-H.
When asked what lessons from high school activities have stayed with him, Kyle shared:
“High school activities taught me teamwork, leadership, time management, and the importance of commitment and responsibility.”
Kyle also shared his belief that students who get involved are positively impacted in adulthood.
At A-M, we know participation is about more than wins.
Activities help students build confidence, develop leadership, learn resilience, and create friendships. Whether it’s athletics or activities, involvement helps prepare students for success in school, in their careers, and in life.
It also creates a strong connection in our community.
At A-M, We Do Things.
Get involved.
Build relationships.
Learn leadership.
Create memories.
Prepare for life.

We had a great 2 days of camp for our 3rd-5th grade and 6th-8th grade Lady Coyote Basketball players!
We learned some new skills, laid the foundation for the future, and had some fun.
I want to send a huge thank you to all of our High School players who took their time to help out. Their impact is huge!
