Students in elementary through 6th grade raised money as part of their annual Read-a-Thon. Students in 4th-6th grade pledged to read more in the month of May and were able to attend an overnight at school where reading and fun abound! Today, we were able to present a donation to Western Buffalo County Ambulance Service and Scenic Valley Emergency Medical Service from the donations received throughout the month of May. Congrats to Ray, Jayce, Josie, and Ensley for being some of our top fundraisers! Thank you everyone who helped make this experience fun and meaningful for our students.

The final day of the Sixth Grade Field Trip gave students a closer look at local water systems and wildlife. At Rieck’s Park, students participated in fish shocking with Brian Brecka, toured Lock and Dam #4, and spent the afternoon conducting water sampling activities. It was a great way to end three educational and engaging days of outdoor experiences!

The National Honor Society at Alma High School received a $350 donation to support Arbor Day activities focused on giving back to the community and promoting environmental awareness. NHS students chose to teach elementary students about the importance of flowers and how they support nature and pollinators. Members volunteered their time to help elementary classes plant flowers in personal planters that students could take home and continue growing.

In addition to working with younger students, NHS members also planted a tree at Rieck's Lake Park as part of the community’s Arbor Day celebration. The National Honor Society would like to thank Alliance Bank for its generous donation and support in helping make a positive impact on the environment and the Alma community.

This week's student of the week is Celia DeGroot, an eighth grader, daughter of Skylar and Nicole DeGroot, and sister to Marcella. Some of Celia's favorite hobbies include basketball, reading, and spending time with her mom. She loves going to the beach and hanging out with her friends. The thing that Celia is most proud of this school year is keeping her grades up and achieving high honors. During the school day, she looks forward to English with her favorite teacher, Mr. Hoolihan, because he always makes sure they are getting what they need to succeed. Lastly, Celia's favorite school lunch is Pizza Boats. Congratulations, Celia, and keep up the amazing work!

This week's Student of the Week is Finnian Smith. In school, his favorite class is Social Studies, and playing outside for recess. When he isn't out on the field, he’s likely at home hanging out with his brother Josh and their squad of pets, Ralphie, Gus, and Daisy. Finnian is a total creative at heart; he loves drawing, cartoons, and movies. His favorite school lunch is pizza, and if he had to choose one superpower, it would be web-slinging like Spiderman. He has summer plans to help his parents, Marcy and Matt, at the Stone Barn! When he grows up, he wants to be a famous sports player or an actor. Congrats to Finnian Smith on being Student of the Week!
