Field Day provided so much joy to the Hillcrest campus as students participated in fun events and celebrated the end of the year together. We also honored our Students of the Week, who continue to shine in and out of the classroom. There is still time to sign your child up for Summer School. https://app.smore.com/n/ajmv5u-the-weekly-update-panther-pride

The students' art reflects their Panther pride and incorporates some Memorial Day and Highland Festival messages and words of encouragement.

Thank you to the wonderful local businesses for welcoming our students and helping make such a fun experience possible!

🐾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!
