✨ Today, we welcomed about 35 Alma College first-year students as part of their First Year Seminar! ✨

These newest Scots had the chance to learn more about Alma Public Schools, our community, and the wonderful programs we offer. They visited Middle School classrooms and also learned about the Big Brothers Big Sisters Lunch Buddies program at Pine Ave.

We loved the opportunity to share what makes APS such a special part of the Alma community! 🖤🧡

Did you know? Missing just a few days of school can have a big impact on learning. At APS, we’re here to support families in building strong attendance habits—because every day counts!
