News announcement: $25,000 grant won for Alma School District's fabrication lab!!

Last week, Mrs.Glander took her 7th grade class to the STEAM fair in West Salem, Wisconsin. There were 312 students participating in grades kindergarten through 8th grade. Each student in Mrs. Glander’s class coded a microbit, a pocket-sized computer, to create something relevant to their life. It had to relate to science, technology, engineering, and math. Darci Reinhardt and Allison Johnson took third place in the 6-8 Innovative category. They teamed up to make a duck coop. It is programmed for when a duck enters. The computer will then dispense fresh water along with a temperature sensor, so the coop does not get too cold. Great job 7th graders!

Leighton’s favorite class is Kindergarten, but more specifically, Math. Playing the cockroach game and hanging out with his friends are his favorite activities. When Leighton grows up, he wants to be a firefighter. If he could travel anywhere in the world, he would go to his uncle's house. When he’s at his uncle's house, he always has lots of fun playing with his uncle. Tacos are Leighton's favorite food. Congratulations, Leighton, on being this week’s Student of the Week! Keep up the great work!

A large group of high school students stand together on a small stage at an awards event, many wearing medals around their necks. They are dressed in semi-formal attire such as dresses, button-down shirts, and slacks. The group smiles and faces the camera, with a banquet-style room setting visible, including tables and a person in the foreground holding up a phone to take a picture.

Two high school students stand side by side on a stage, each wearing a medal on a ribbon around their neck. The student on the left wears a light-colored polo shirt and khaki pants, while the student on the right wears a green dress and platform sandals. Both face the camera and smile, standing in front of a wood-paneled wall with decorative lattice panels.

Exciting News: Summer Food Service Program Approved!

We are pleased to announce that our school has been approved for the Summer Food Service Program. This program ensures that all students have access to nutritious meals during the summer school session.
What You Need to Know:
Free Meals: We will offer free reimbursable breakfasts and lunches to all students during designated service times on summer school dates June 1 -June 26, 2026.

Summer School Students Lunches from Home: If your child chooses to bring a lunch from home but would like to add a milk, the cost for an individual milk is $0.35.

Please note:
Federal regulations only allow for free meals when they are "reimbursable" (containing all required food components). Because milk on its own is not a full meal, it must be purchased separately.

Payments:
The $0.35 charge for individual milk will be conveniently applied to your child’s existing school lunch account. if your child does not attend School during the regular school year, please contact DeeDee Johnson in the High School office to make arrangements.

This week, our fourth-grade class enjoyed a fun-filled field trip packed with adventure, learning, and sweet treats. The students started their day at the Paul Bunyan Museum, where they explored exhibits about the legendary lumberjack and discovered fascinating facts about the region’s history.
Afterward, the group headed to Carson Park, where they played games, enjoyed the playground, and soaked up the sunshine.
The day ended with a special treat: the students stopped for ice cream, capping off their exciting excursion with smiles and jokes. The field trip was a big hit, showing how loggers used to live.
