On Wednesday, May 22, the Alma Area School second-grade students had the opportunity to learn from the Western Buffalo County Ambulance Service about bike safety as well as explore the ambulance. Alma’s own Heather Kosik and Melissa Krzoska presented the kids with a bike safety lesson where the students learned about different hand signals and the importance of wearing a bike helmet. Outside the classroom, Taylor and Hayley Auseth along with Lonnie Sass taught the students all about the ambulance. The kids were able to explore the ambulance and even sit on the stretcher. At the end of the presentation, the students were given the gift of a bike helmet. Thank you Western Buffalo County Ambulance Service!

The Alma 5th graders went on to the Buffalo County Courthouse for Law Day! They went through a mock trial, they saw a patrol car and K9 partner, and a huge snow plow. We learned how many people help protect our community!
2nd graders have been working on animal research reports. We each picked an animal and used many resources to find out facts about them. We enjoyed becoming mini experts and sharing our reports.
Conference Golf Meet
The Alma-Pepin Golf team went to the Conference Championship meet and did astonishingly well. The team went down to Trempealeau Mountain Golf Course and shot a school record of 341.

The Eagles team medalist was Keegan Stiehl with an 82 while shortly behind was Trenton Krzoska and Anders Johansen with a score of 83. Ridge Lodermeier came in with a score of 93.
After finishing this meet, the team finished second place overall in the conference shortly behind CFC who was recognized to be conference champions. After the final points were given out, Keegan Stiehl made First Team All Conference as well as Trenton Krzoska.
The senior's busy last day included a camp out in Mrs. Kosik's Yard (without her knowledge), graduation practice, Lunch (Provided by J&J's and Mr. Stewart), and a senior sendoff, where the entire school lined up to watch the seniors leave school for the last time. Congratulations to the senior class of 2024! Good luck and thank you for all the memories!
The fourth graders have been studying about the Life Cycle of the Butterfly. They received their live larvae about 28 days ago. They observed the larvae change to a chrysalis and then to a butterfly. The fourth graders were so excited to release the painted lady butterflies yesterday.
On May 13, the 2nd Graders went on their community helpers field trip. We learned about how people help in our community. We would like to thank the Alma Vet Clinic, Alma Bakery, The Bank of Alma, Alma Post Office, Buffalo County Sheriff's Dept., Alma Fire Station, and Alma Public Library for helping us learn today.
Congratulations to the Lady Eagles Softball for becoming conference champions.
Tenth grade student, Trenton Krzoska, is this week's student of the week. Trenton has two older siblings, Alexis and Colton; his parents are Melissa and Chad. Trenton participates in basketball, football, and golf. He spends his free time in the outdoors either hunting or fishing. Trenton selected Mr. Graff as his favorite teacher because he always has a fun time in his class. He enjoys that all of the students at Alma know each other. After graduating high school, Trenton wants to attend the University of Lacrosse for marketing. Trenton’s biggest role model is his father, Chad, because of all of the life lessons he has taught him. Congratulations Trenton on becoming this week's student of the week.
