Students in the OST program Rivermen Quest have been learning about dog sledding. We even got to meet (via Zoom) dog sled musher, Jonah Bacon. Jonah is a graduate of Alma and lives in Alaska. Thank you, Jonah, for sharing your knowledge of dog sledding and letting us meet your dogs!
We had an opportunity to learn about the history of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and take a look at this historic vehicle. Thanks to Sam Benish (aka Sammer Sausage) and her trusty sidekick Hammy Sammy for this opportunity.
"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener"...was the song the first grade class treated Samantha Benish (a former Alma student) and her partner Hammy Sammy to today! What a treat to see the wienermobile up close! Thank you for the wonderful tour!
Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 17! Why? Because that is when the Big Band Dance will be at Alma High School. The jazz band has been working very hard to bring you a variety of dance music from your favorite swing charts and ballads, to your favorite polkas and waltzes. The Big Band Dance was started over 40 years ago by Bill Simon, and it has lasted the test of time because of the outstanding support of the community and commitment of the students. This is a family event for all ages and a great way to see how awesome our Alma musicians are. Mark down 7:00 pm on February 17 for an evening of fun, food, and dancing at Alma High School!
Lucky kids to have these sledding hills!
The Alma Media Team will be streaming tonight's boys varsity basketball game vs Eleva-Strum Cardinals. The stream will at 7:00 pm. https://www.youtube.com/@AlmaMediaTeam/streams
2nd graders had "snow" much fun today learning about snowflakes. We learned Wilson Bentley who was the first person to take photographs of snowflakes. We then created snowflakes and made snow.
Student of Week
The student of the week this week is Leah Green. Leah is a two sport athlete playing both Basketball and Softball. She really likes the many opportunities in our school. In the school she admires all the teachers, but Mr. Killian is her favorite. Outside of school, her favorite thing to do is go on the river with her dad, who is her biggest role model. She is the daughter of Jessica Gusa and Scott Green and also has four siblings. When Leah is older, she wants to go on to college to be a surgeon. Congratulations Leah!
Pre-K students are learning about partners and patterns. Today we worked on AB patterns with shapes and colors. Later this week we will be doing AAB, ABB, and ABC patterns!
Learning to work with someone can be hard, so we did a little practicing today.
