What a BEAUTIFUL day to do some reading outside in the shade!

DLPMS' CSO students Allison Sandro and Ainsley Falor received a check recently from the Alma/St. Louis Rotary Club after pitching an idea to them for a "Cub Den" in their school. The Cub Den will provide necessities to students that are in need free of charge.

On Monday, students from the 7th Grade Choir performed at MSVMA State Choral Festival at Midland's Central Auditorium. They received an Excellent-1 rating. They are incredibly thankful for the experience to grow as musicians and work with well sought after clinicians. Everyone who attended should be incredibly proud of their performance!

Tonight!

Ms. Eddy’s students worked hard on their Mother’s/Important Person Day projects today. They had the opportunity to create a project for their mother, grandmother, a teacher, or anyone else that is special to them. Their project included a silhouette image of them as well as some creative designs!

Congratulations, Mayson, on your art being displayed downtown. We are so proud of you!

Hillcrest third-grade students came to Pine Avenue for "Moving Up Day" activities. They spent an hour learning about Pine Avenue and fourth-grade expectations. We are looking forward to having our new fourth-grade students join us in August!

Preschoolers at Luce Road had a fun afternoon celebrating the Fun Run!

Mr Huff was asking students today if they knew what R.O.A.R.S. stood for and giving out stamps for correct answers. Do YOU know??

Buddy reading and book review outside enjoying the nice weather last week.

*Attention, Parents of Elementary Students*: Please join us for a meeting regarding the current afternoon student pick-up procedures at the elementary buildings. Your valuable input is important in shaping future procedures for the upcoming school year and beyond.

Student leadership is an important part of Pine Avenue's school culture. A student in Mr. Taylor's class is leading a shared reading activity while the substitute teacher oversees the class. Great job, Panthers and Panther Student Leaders!

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.

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

Alma Elementary PTO Fun Run is tomorrow, Friday, May 3, 2024. Thank you for supporting our students!
