We have a Hall of Fame member on staff. Mrs. Brandee West was inducted into the Alma College Athletic Hall of Fame recently. Her 1999 softball team went further than any team ever has, before or since, in the DIII National Tournament. They were National runners-up. Congratulations to Mrs. West! Go Panthers! Go Scots!

Dear Parents,
Due to several cases of confirmed school-associated spread of Covid, all middle school students and staff will be required to wear masks beginning tomorrow through Oct. 22. The Health Dept. and Mrs. Criner will reconsider this decision at that time.
We appreciate your support as we implement mitigation steps that may keep us in school.
This performance will be streamed at the High School Auditorium on October 21st at 7:15 – we’ll have some folks from Alma College explaining the project and providing some brochures on the history of the Opera House. This would be an interesting event for parents to bring their students who are studying Michigan History. If you have any questions, please contact Sheryle Dixon at sddixon@alma.edu or (989) 463-7967.
