Today, our Pine Avenue Elementary 5th graders created beautiful chalk art in front of their school and some awesome downtown businesses! The students' art reflects their Panther pride and incorporates some Memorial Day and Highland Festival messages and words of encouragement. They had an awesome time expressing themselves through creativity and spreading positivity in their community! Thank you to the wonderful local businesses for welcoming our students and helping make such a fun experience possible!
Be sure to visit beautiful downtown Alma to see their masterpieces up close! 🐾🎨☀️🌻

🐾Our next Staff Spotlight goes to Bryant Greiner! We are fortunate to have this dedicated and caring teacher on our team. Let's hear a little bit about Mr. Greiner in his own words...🐾
⭐Grade/Subject: 3rd grade teacher, and this is my 4th year at Alma Public Schools.
⭐Favorite part of teaching at APS: My favorite thing about working at Alma Public Schools is the tight-knit, warm environment that's so thoughtfully fostered here. I enjoy getting to work with dedicated professionals that help me become a better teacher each day and building a community of learners. I also love being the student council advisor at Hillcrest Elementary and being an assistant coach for Football and middle school Basketball this past year.
⭐Hobbies & Interests: Outside of school my hobbies are spending family time with my wife and son, attending MSU Football & Hockey games and playing in an Adult Hockey League.

On Thursday, APS hosted 50+ Michigan educators and a film crew to showcase our growth through the 23h math grant! Over the last two years, we’ve worked hard to elevate our instruction and help students see themselves as true mathematicians. We are so proud to be part of this work to improve math education!
🐾We know Alma Public Schools is an awesome place to learn and grow. Our caring teaching staff go above and beyond to make every student feel safe and supported in the classroom. We could tell you countless reasons why we believe APS is the place to be -- or you could see for yourself. Hear from some of our 4th grade Panthers as they share what they love about APS!🐾
