Thank you Pine Panther Families for attending our Parent Teacher Connection Night. Tonight was a great learning event for our students who will be attending DLPMS next year and fourth grade students moving to up to fifth grade.

Fun Run prizes are in!! Students are very excited about their keychains! Thanks to all of this that are raising funds for our PTO!!

Mark your calendars! The annual PTO Fun Raiser will be at Alma College on May 3, 2024. We encourage all our students' parents to register and support this major fundraising event. Our PTO sponsors assemblies, field trips, classrooms, memorable learning experiences, and more.

Tomorrow Night!!!

Student's from AHS Chamber Choir returned home after a long weekend of exploring some of America's most famous historical locations (Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Memorial, Rockefeller Building, and the Lincoln Center), as well as experiencing the solar eclipse, watching a Broadway show from the 3rd row (!), and performing with world renowned musicians. They should be incredibly proud of how well they represented APS and the choir program.

Pine Avenue Parents, do you have a student transitioning to the middle school? You are invited to attend the transition seminar presented by Mr. Huff and Ms. Klingensmith from the DLPMS team. We will also host the 4th grade transition to the 5th, discuss the benefits of summer school, and much more. Our program begins at 5:00 p.m. and goes to 7:00 p.m. See you on Friday, April 12, 2024.

The sixth graders had an opportunity to learn a technique to safely view the solar eclipse by creating and testing pinhole projectors! Pinhole projectors allowed early scientists to view the shapes of illuminated objects, like the sun, by shining the light from the object through a tiny hole, projecting the image of the object onto the ground, wall, or other flat surfaces. We safely viewed this spectacular event during the solar eclipse by projecting it on the classroom floor, countertops, and student binders!

We love when we get to have PE class outside!!!

Pine Panthers had a wonderful learning experience observing the Solar Eclipse. Thank you PTO for your dedication to our students.

State testing this week at AHS!

Parents, please remember that the maximum coverage of the Eclipse will occur during Pine's dismissal. For the safety of all our students and staff during the Eclipse, bus students will be brought out at the bell, followed by pick-up and walkers. Students will observe the Eclipse with their teachers until the bell rings. Due to the change in visibility, we ask for patience and careful driving. Parents are encouraged to park their vehicles at dismissal and enjoy this wonderful experience with their children.

APS is hiring a GSRP Preschool Teacher! *Please see our website for posting.*

Alma Public Schools officially broke ground on the Panther Pride Project at a ceremony held at the Don Miller field on Wednesday, April 3rd. This event marked the beginning of an alumni-led fundraising initiative designed to enhance the APS High School outdoor athletic complex by introducing turf to the Don Miller field. Notably, this upgrade represents the first major renovation to the grass field since the opening of the Alma High School building in 1970. Despite serving Alma Public Schools for over five decades, this transformation is a long-awaited improvement set to benefit the community for years to come.

Ms. Rowley and students from AHS’ Chamber Choir are on their way to New York City to perform at David Geffen Hall in the Lincoln Center. Safe travels! 🎶

We LOVE the Alma Public Library! We are so lucky to have such a great resource in our community!!

It's that time again!!! FUN RUN is HERE! Please help support our students through the only PTO fundraiser!!!
