On behalf of everyone at Alma Public Schools, it is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of our beloved bus driver, Dave Covington, this morning before his route started. He was not only a dedicated bus driver for our daily routes but also played a vital role in transporting our athletes to numerous events over the years.
His commitment, kindness, and presence will be greatly missed by colleagues, students, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
We are in our third year of implementation with our K-5 ELA program, Bookworms. Our students are making great gains as they work on all different aspects of reading and writing daily!
Check out this video of our students hard at work!

Have you ever wanted to learn where your food comes from and how it’s made? Our After-School Agriculture Club at Hillcrest is the perfect place to start! Yesterday, our outstanding students rolled up their sleeves and learned how to make butter from scratch!
I wish all our Panthers at Hillcrest and Pine an awesome learning week! Enjoy our first newsletter as we grow and develop into one school in two buildings.

Alma Public Schools is committed to providing students with safe, supportive learning environments that promote growth and achievement. The Board of Education is introducing a bond proposal on the May ballot, seeking $29.9 million to fund critical facility upgrades, technology improvements, and safety enhancements — all without increasing the current millage tax rate. This proposal invites the community to invest in student success and ensure that Alma schools remain a strong, future-ready foundation for generations to come.

Our 1st graders have been working on many different number sense routines this month during Number Corner.
During November, Hillcrest participated in Coins for a Cause, and raised over $1050 for the Hope House, which was matched by United Way, for a donation over $2100! Congrats to Mrs. Treifl's class for raising the most money!
