The Lady Eagles' Last Conference Match of the Season
After an exciting game on Tuesday, October 10, the Eagles' volleyball team was ready to finish their conference games strong against Melrose Mindoro. In honor of it being Melrose's senior night, their head coach, David Waraxa, decided to start and play all his seniors for the first set. The Eagles were dominant in the first set, as they conquered the Mustangs 25-11. The Eagles kept swinging, with two players recording double-digit kills, and three others coming very close. In the second set, the Mustangs returned to their normal lineup, but this didn't stop Alma-Pepin's momentum. Although this match was much closer than the first, the Eagles still won 25-23. The third set was similar to the second, with both the Mustangs and the Eagles having to fight for every point. Unlike the second set, the outcome was different, as Melrose beat the Eagles 25-24 in the third set, extending the game. Alma-Pepin's defense was marvelous, with four Eagle athletes recording double digits for digs. The fourth set went back and forth between points until the end, going beyond the regular limit of 25. The Eagles finally closed out the game, winning the last set 29-27. The Eagles were pleased with their performance in conference play and are excited to see what the playoffs will bring. Alma-Pepin is overjoyed to secure the eighth seed, ensuring them a home game for the first round of the playoffs. They will face the Loyal Greyhounds next Tuesday in Alma.

Alma FFA goes on an expedition to the World Dairy Expo in Madison
The World Dairy Expo is a gathering for dairy and agriculture industries. This event units farmers, producers, and agricultural enthusiasts together. The World Dairy Expo provides knowledge, innovation, and networking to intrigued students captivated by the works of agriculture. The World Dairy Expo recently left a mark on six of our members of the Alma FFA.
Spanning over several days, The World Dairy Expo, located in Madison showcases the latest advancements in the dairy industry as well as learning experiences for the future generation of agriculture. This educational extravaganza served as a platform for students to learn about agriculture, the dairy industry, and the role these industries play in the world of production.
The World Dairy Expo offers a diverse array of vendors representing agricultural brands, but they are more than just exhibitors. It is a group of educators ready to enhance students' grasp on agriculture. Students had experts with information right at their fingertips. From cutting-edge farm equipment to the latest dairy technologies there was plenty of room for strengthening their knowledge. Industry experts helped students gain insight on the latest trends. This learning experience not only helped strengthen the Alma’s FFA knowledge but also helped them gain a better understanding about the world around us.
Hands-on experiences like this help students recognize the complexity of dairy production and the dedication required to maintain the high standard of the industry. As FFA members leave the expo they are instilled with knowledge, understanding, and appreciation for the dairy industry. The Alma FFA is proud to have this eye-opening experience that deepens their understanding of agriculture and dairy production. Diverse vendors, educational opportunities, free cartons of milk, and connections made with fellow FFA members are all examples of the invaluable takeaways from this remarkable event. The Alma FFA left with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to the future of agriculture, knowing we are part of a community dedicated to feeding the world.

Heavenly Hats Comes to Alma High School
The Alma School students were given the opportunity to partake in a good cause. On Friday, October 6th, students could donate $1.00 and wear a hat during school. The donation wasn’t going to the school but to the Heavenly Hats Foundation. Alma School has a dress code against wearing hats during school hours, but for one day they could donate to a good cause and wear their favorite hat. This year, the Alma School had $171.00 donated to the Heavenly Hats Foundation.
The Heavenly Hats Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2001 by a ten-year-old named Anthony Leanna. Anthony lived in Green Bay at the time when his grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer. Anthony decided to go out to local businesses and put a hat donation box out. He would collect the hats and deliver them to local hospitals. He didn’t think anything significant would have come of this, but that’s not how it ended. Anthony’s caring heart found him in interviews with national news outlets. This was Anthony’s dream, but this led his mom, DeeAnn, to make a hard decision. DeeAnn left her job and learned the non-profit sector, so Anthony’s dream could come true. Anthony’s idea was with all the hardship the patients are enduring, why should they pay anywhere from $10-$100 for hats? Anyone who requests a “hat package” will get 6-7 brand-new hats free of charge. Heavenly Hats will send hats to patients of all ages; however, the children will receive a stuffed animal or a toy in their box. Nearly 23 years later and with countless volunteers, the Heavenly Hats Foundation has donated over 5,400,000 brand-new hats to cancer patients in need. All of this wouldn’t be possible without the donations from the community.
