The W-K-A-P Cross Country team had another outstanding meet in St. Charles this past week. The team attended the Three Rivers Conference Meet on October 22, 2026. The Wabasha-Kellogg-Alma-Pepin girls cross country team finished 7th in the 10-team conference meet. The Wabasha-Kellogg-Alma-Pepin boys cross country team finished in 3rd place, their highest team finish at the conference meet ever. The Falcon boys landed 3 runners on the All-Conference team. Big congratulations to Griffin Riesgraf – 3rd (16:41), Fritz Riesgraf – 11th (17:58), Bryson Hooihan – 12th (18:01). The Falcons' next meet is the Section 1A Meet at Northern Hills Golf Course in Rochester on Thursday, October 29. This meet is the State Qualifying meet. The girls' race is at 3:00 pm, with the boys' race to follow at 3:45 pm. The top 2 teams in each race qualify for state, as well as the top 7 individuals NOT on one of the qualifying teams! Good luck with your next meet and run hard!

A group of male cross-country runners pose for a team photo outside a building, wearing jerseys from various schools, including LARP, Cotter, and St. Charles. Some runners kneel in the front row while others stand behind them, several holding medals or race items.
Last night Addison Johnson (daughter of Beau and Jenny Johnson and 2025 Graduate of Alma High School) WON her Dairy Production Placement Proficiency at the NATIONAL Level. To qualify for nationals you have to win at the state level first, which she did back in June. She had to submit a lengthy application and years of record keeping as long with going through an interview process. An amazing accomplishment and LOTS of hard work and dedication by Addison, her family, Ms. J and many people who have helped her along the way. What a accomplishment it is to be recognized at the National level! CONGRATULATIONS to Addison, her family and Ms. J!

Monday the 19th was a beautiful day for the elementary's Track and Field day! From high jump to relay racing, the entire elementary student body was given the opportunity to participate in some friendly competition and enjoy the day outside. Split up into grade groups, each student was able to choose the events they wanted to compete in, including high jump, long jump, jump rope, softball throw, frisbee toss, hurdles, 50 meter dash, 100 meter dash, 400 meter dash, and relay. Congratulations to all our event winners as well!

This event was a blast, all thanks to Phy. Ed. teacher Tim Ruff, paraprofessional Hailee Mcquistion, student aide Melanie Inglett, student volunteers: Hunter Schmalzriedt, Garret Krause, Max Carothers, Kevin Bauer, Anders Johansen, Macy Stewart, Nessa Noll, Alivia Elliott, Emma McMahon, Alexis Koch, Olivia Larson, and many more. A huge thank you to all those who took time off their day to come out and watch too! It truly does make all the difference.

Last week the junior high class took a trip to the Alma Public Library to pick out some books to read and to enjoy the new space. There, they were able to browse among the available titles in both the young adult and adult sections to find books. They also were given the chance to ask one of the library staff to search for a specific book or series that was of interest to them and request to hold it. All such amazing things at the library! A special shout-out and thank you to the library director: Laura, and all of the library staff who collaborated with the school to make trips like these possible!

Congratulations on the elementary student of the week for this week: Elouise Green! The only daughter of Kiera and William "Bill" Green, Elouise has begun third grade this year and has been greatly enjoying switching classrooms throughout the school day for a change of scenery. With two dogs, one goldfish, and two turtles---one baby and one adult---Elouise's family has plenty of action. She enjoys challenging her mind by solving complex 100-piece puzzles in her free time, though TV and YouTube time are also appreciated. Despite her favorite class being mathematics, Elouise looks forward to achieving her dream job of either a dance instructor or singer. Due to this, she hopes to hone her vocal skills in choir in middle school. Her favorite food is the mini pancakes that her father makes, and her favorite drink is flavorful lemonade that doesn't have too much sugar in it. Otherwise, her favorite color and animal are as follows: teal and elephants. Great job Elouise! We look forward to seeing you succeed!

This week's student of the week is sixth grader Finnian Smith. Finn is the youngest son of Matt and Marcy Smith and the younger brother of Josh. Finn has three dogs and five cats. He really enjoys spending his free time out in nature camping; he also enjoys playing basketball, baseball, football, and also playing the drums. Finn's favorite class is Social Studies, and this year he's most looking forward to the last day of school festivities. When Finn grows up, he wants to be a cartoonist. Congratulations, Finn, and keep up the good work.
