Thanksgiving is the season of selflessness, so come and give blood here in Alma next monday! Blood donations help save millions of lives each year, all over the world. No matter your blood type, even if you don’t know it, any pint helps.

Anyone the age of 17 and up, over 110 pounds, and in general good health can give blood. In the state of Wisconsin, 16 year olds can also give blood with parental permission. While the donation itself varies per person, it only takes an average of five to eight minutes to fill a pint.

Get into the season of giving by donating blood at the Alma Lutheran Church (709 S Second St, Alma, WI 54610) on Monday the 9th. Schedule today at www.redcross.org or on the Blood Donor app!

A special shout out to Junior Lorna Lisowski for her participation in the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) High School State Honors Project! This is her fourth time being accepted into this prestigious program, which includes a four day summer camp in June and continuous practice, all leading up to a high-profile performance within the UW-Madison campus as a part of the Wisconsin State Music Conference. The concert was on the 29th of October this year. For instrumentalists, a position in either the band, jazz band, and orchastra were available, and Lorna has been a part of both the band and orchastra. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment Lorna and thank you to all her family, friends, and mentors who support her!

Congratulations to third-grader Murphy Curtis. Murphy is the daughter of Joe and Sam and the sister to three siblings. Going to her grandma's to play with the cats and catching frogs are some of her favorite pastimes, especially with her little sister Piper. This year, Murphy is moving to her new house by her grandma's and can't wait. When she's at school, she loves Phy Ed. with Mr. Ruff, and to stay active outside of school, Murphy likes to play softball in the summer. When she grows up, she wants to be a photographer and take pictures of all the beautiful things around her. Murphy looks up to her hard-working and caring aunt, even calling her her biggest influence. She says her aunt has done a lot of very hard but cool things, like moving from Wisconsin to Texas. Way to go, Murphy, and keep up the outstanding work!

Congratulations to junior Imani Lopez-Elliott for winning high school student of the week! Daughter of Addie and Gabriel, Imani has a full year in front of her. With the aim to study early education, she looks forward to her goal of attending a four year college and taking a semester abroad in Europe. She is also interested in tutoring younger children. As of right now however, her favorite class is yearbook, and she is excited for Christmas break. Imani is in both volleyball and dance, specifically pom and kick, and she has a lyrical solo that she hopes to take to state competition. Despite her favorite color being purple, Imani favors the deep red coat of a fox. She also loves Alfredo and hot chocolate. Great job Imani! We look forward to seeing your future achievements.
