This week’s Student of the Week is Junior, Trenton Krzoska. Trenton is a dedicated student who participates in Football, Basketball, and Golf. Outside of school, he's an avid hunter and fisherman. One of Trenton’s proudest accomplishments is being the starting quarterback for this year’s Dairyland Conference Championship football team. This was a role that showed Trenton's leadership and determination for the game of football. When asked for advice to underclassmen, Trenton said, “Don’t be afraid to be a leader, and always have confidence in yourself”. While Trenton isn’t sure what he wants to do in his future, he does know one thing: he wants to make a lot of money. Lastly, his favorite high school memory is the time Madox Stewart tried to show him how far he could bend his Chromebook and accidentally snapped it in half instead. Congratulations, Trenton Krzoska, on being this week’s Student of the Week!
Senior Spotlight!
This week's Elementary student of the week is 2nd grader, Shea Ressie. She is the youngest daughter of Elizabeth and Kory Ressie, and has two older sisters Quinn and Hailey. She participates in softball and basketball. Shea’s favorite thing to learn is math because it is fun. After an enjoyable math class, she is excited to have her favorite lunch which is pizza. Although Shea has a blast at school, she can’t wait for the end of the day, so she can go home and play horse with her friends. Once she is done with a great time with friends, she makes time for her three cats: Tiger, Slider, and Fluff. As the school year is coming to an end, Shea is most excited for 3rd grade Donut Day. Congratulations Shea Ressie!

On Wednesday, a group of students from Alma High School visited the Omni Center in Onalaska, WI, to take part in a hands-on career day and industry showcase. The event offered an interactive platform for students to explore a variety of trades through demonstrations and activities led by local employers and technical college representatives. The showcase connected students directly with professionals in future career fields. This experience not only gave the students insight into potential career paths but also supported efforts to strengthen the future workforce by engaging young people in the trades early on. Thank you to Mr. Reed for taking these students to such an enriching experience.

Last Saturday, the Alma junior class presented Hawaiian Nights Prom. The court, which consisted of 12 participants, was presented to the crowd at 8:30. Bo Schams and Tori Creighton were crowned king and queen. The dance lasted until 11 o'clock when the students were shuttled to Club 10 in Durand. Club 10 had pizza, salad, breadsticks, and a dessert bar for the students to munch on. Two golf simulators, six bowling alleys, and a dance hall kept the students entertained until 2 am when they were transported back to the school. At the school, the raffle drawings were presented by the After Prom Committee. There were 19 prizes and 20 cash prizes for the students to win. The students ended their night around 3 am. It was a fun night filled with memories that will last a lifetime.
Mrs. Glander's room is filled with even more noise and cuteness. Starting on April 7th, the fourth-grade class adopted 48 unhatched chicken eggs. While they are learning about the life cycle of a butterfly, Mrs. Glander thought it would be a good idea to allow the students to watch chickens and butterflies grow. It takes 28 days of incubation before the chicks begin to hatch, which is why they just started hatching on Sunday. Currently, the class has 13 chickens! After a fun week with the chicks, the 4-6th-grade students have the opportunity to adopt them and bring them home.
