The Student of the Week is freshman Garrett Krause. Garrett has a twin brother named Eli and an older brother named Logan. His parents' names are Kevin and Julie Krause. Garrett's favorite thing about Alma High School is being a part of the football team. If he could change one thing about Alma he would like to add more options for different classes. Garrett’s favorite teacher is Mrs. Jumbeck because she has a fun class and is good at delivering the material to the students. Garrett's father, Kevin Krause, is the greatest role model in his life. Garrett does football, trap, baseball, and FFA as extracurriculars through the Alma School District. He hopes to have a future in the natural resources and enjoys fishing and hunting. If Garrett could have one celebrity as a teacher, he would pick Will Farrell because he is funny.

The 2nd graders at Alma School had 'Gingerbread Day.' In math, Mrs. Brecka asked the students to estimate a gingerbread house. Then they checked the estimates after measuring. There was a gingerbread story, and then the 2nd graders built their own. It was a SWEET day!
Winter Band and Choir Concert 2023. Such an amazing time at the concert with a great turnout. Grades 6-12 performed a variety of Christmas songs for the community to enjoy. Thanks to all who attended!
Many students dressed up for Ugly Sweater Day to inculcate their true Christmas Spirit.
The elementary students had to dig deep to find the ugliest sweater in their ugly drawer.
Congratulations to our Junior Class fundraiser winner for week 7!
Dress like your favorite Christmas character was the Winterfest theme for today. A couple of students were able to pull it off though!!!! Make sure to wear your ugly sweaters tomorrow.
Today, the elementary kids were looking to steal Christmas but decided to have a little heart by dressing as the Grinch.
