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.

This morning, students in Mrs. Fornusek’s class played a math facts race game. It was a close match and came down to the final round. So much fun!

Thank you to all who attended conferences. We appreciate the time families took out of their day to discuss their student(s).
Here's this week's Pine Press. As a reminder, this was the last week a paper copy will be sent home. Pine Press will be emailed to families, as well as posted to Facebook and the APS app.

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!
Our school wide Title 1 program allows our students to receive supplemental instruction for students as they demonstrate need. Mrs. Case and Mrs. Hohlbein provide small group instruction in Math and Reading. These ladies also guide and train our instructional paraprofessional staff to provide supplemental support in the classroom.
