HMMM... How do you make a decision?
The social skill in kindergarten this week was decision making. Students were faced with many decisions they had to make. We talked about thinking before you decide. We brainstormed how to decide. To put our decision making skills to the test, we played board games!
Rivermen clubhouse has big news....
After learning things about long ago in Language Arts, our Wacky Wednesday was all about making butter in a jar! The kids that were a little hesitant about trying it loved it!!!
I am a proud teacher of the 1st graders! They did a wonderful job singing the National Anthem at the boys varsity game in Alma on Tuesday, January 30th!
The Community thanks Mary Meixner for the hard work she has put into the cooking class that was a part of the Out of School Time grant. Members of the community were invited to the school to learn three meals. The best part of it all was everyone got to take the meals they made home.
ONLY 17 DAYS AWAY! SPREAD THE WORD...
Six Alma students traveled to Eleva-Strum High School for an umping clinic today. During the clinic, students were taught about the mechanics and positioning of being an ump. Those who attended now have a solid knowledge of umping either softball or baseball.

Student of the Week
Our lucky kindergarten student, Rhett Blim, won our “student of the week” title. Rhett is five years old and will be turning six on May 16. Rhett lives in a full house with his sister Paisley, a sixth grader at Alma, and his five pets. Rhett has two dogs and three kittens. Rhett’s favorite animal is zombie kittens, which is why he has so many at home. At home, he loves to learn the alphabet with his mom. Rhett’s favorite activity would be to go sledding outside. After Rhett is out of high school, he wants to become a construction worker and help take cars off the road. Rhett loves Snicker Bars and Batman. Congratulations Rhett on becoming the Alma Student of the Week.

The final Whitehall VEX Robotics competition saw students from 38 teams hailing from many area schools (Black River, Rice Lake, Menomonie etc.) to compete for top spots. Students from the Alma Elementary and Alma Middle School were among those. Pictured here are Jack Loewenhagen, Emmitt Inglett, Abby Ruff and Collin Walstrom.
The students spent the entire day 7AM to 5PM on January 27th in many team work alliances, skills runs and ‘coded robot’ runs. In addition, the teams were interviewed about their engineering and their design process from the season of building. Each team was also judged on an engineering notebook. The VEX Challenge is very thorough.
While the student teams from Alma didn’t qualify for state at this competition, they stayed determined to use the whole day to improve: refining their code, practicing driving skills, adjusting the controller/’bot’ and collaborating with partners to devise a strategy to earn points.
Besides competing for a top spot, VEX competitions are also a great way to expose students to valuable soft skills like communication, collaboration and time-management in a fun and authentic way. The VEX Robotics competition prepares students to become future innovators and many past participants report an increased interest in STEM subject areas and pursuing STEM-related careers. Thank you to ASHLEY INDUSTRIES and the Whitehall School District for partnering with Alma to keep this program thriving! Also, thank you to the dedicated parents for your support.
Congratulations to our Regional Champion and State Qualifying Dance team. The team will compete in the State Dance Competition next Friday in LaCrosse. More details to come
