Mrs. Dierauer, Alma School art instructor, brightens our hallways continuously with visual art projects. Some student groups may be developing fine motor skills. Others may be experimenting with an art medium. Overall, the students work hard on the products, and, as viewers, everyone in the Alma School hallway gets to enjoy the creativity.

Holten Fernholz, a 5th grader at Alma Elementary, has been a key collaborator while exploring Sound Trap for the podcasting project . Holten really enjoys putting in the sound loops and, overall, the entire technical design process.

Three new faces joined the faculty and students at Alma Elementary School on January 11th. The Winona State students have begun a student teaching semester. Ms. Boland is in Mrs. Glander’s classroom, Ms. Lerass is in Mrs. Goeldner’s class room, and Mr. Arend is in Mrs. Brecka’s. Each aspiring teacher will introduce him/herself in our January newsletter. "Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be." Thank you to these new leaders who will design learning experiences for our students. We welcome you to our team!

All after school activities for tonight, Thursday, January 14 have been canceled. This includes all practices, games and VEX.

Mrs. Brevick's 5th graders are preparing a podcast that informs listeners about the Civil Rights Movement. The 5th graders are connecting the movement and Martin Luther King Jr. with the novel they are currently reading called, "The Watsons Go to Birmingham."
