Due to the predicted rain for today, the Alma Elementary PTO Fun Run at Alma College has been canceled. We know this is disappointing as we have already raised over $50,000 for the event! Each building will schedule a Fun Run date at their own building and we will communicate that soon. Thank you for your understanding.

Every day, in every class, students participate in partner reading. This builds reading fluency while also working on interpersonal skills and building relationships.

3rd graders had the pleasure of listening local author Linda Hoffman and her stories about haiku poems.

Today, Hillcrest participated in an ALICE drill where we practiced evacuating by going out of the window. Students did a great job during the drill. We hate to have to practice these things, but very important to know what to do in a real situation

We love our nutrition lessons from the RESD! This week, first graders are learning about the benefits of eating broccoli and were able to enjoy a healthy snack!
