We’re continuing our back-to-school week and so is Alpine Academy of Rockford. Director of Alpine Academy of Rockford Scott Dabson says that they started their school year last week and they couldn’t be more excited! He shared that last year was their 25th anniversary so they are ready to kick off their 26th year and have another fantastic 25 years. This past weekend they celebrated Alpine Fest which Scott says was an amazing event with hundreds of people from the community and the school.
