Did you know? March 21 is National Down Syndrome Day - a day to celebrate inclusion, spread awareness, and recognize individuals with Down syndrome. 💙💛
Alma Primary School got in on the celebration a couple of days early, and it was such a fun time! Four of our students were celebrated along with their families, and several classrooms joined in to make it even more special.
Students “rocked their socks” by wearing bright, mismatched, and fun socks to represent the uniqueness of the extra 21st chromosome - and there were some great ones! 🧦
Members of the Airedale boys' basketball team also stopped by to help with activities and celebrate with students, which made the morning even more exciting.
Big thank you to Mrs. Corder for organizing everything and to all the staff who helped make it such a special event!

Our 5th grade students recently took part in an Emergency Management presentation led by Brandon Djordjevic, Deputy Director at the Crawford County Department of Emergency Management. Students gained valuable knowledge about staying safe and prepared in a variety of situations.
From understanding emergency plans to learning how to respond calmly and confidently, these students are building skills that truly make a difference.
Thank you, Mr. Djordjevic, for investing in our students!

📚 Literacy in Action!
Learning looks a little different when students are deeply engaged in what they read! In Mrs. Payne’s 9th-grade class and Mrs. Van Devender’s 10th-grade class, students are connecting with their books in meaningful and engaging ways.
From thoughtful Socratic Seminars to outdoor book clubs, students are sharing ideas, asking questions, and building a deeper understanding of the texts they read. These experiences encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and a love for reading - while giving students a voice in the conversation.
It’s inspiring to see literacy come to life in such creative ways!

Alma Intermediate School is celebrating Read Across America Week with some very special guests! 📚✨
In Ms. Hall’s class, Mr. Bullard, Alma Primary Principal, read Cat in the Hat. Mrs. Taylor Skolarski (Ozark Mercy Hospital) read Fox in Socks, and Mrs. Vee Webb-DeLesline (Cass Job Corps) read The Recess Queen - both also Franklin County Fair Queens, with Vee holding a F.A.C.S. Queen title! Dr. Duffie stopped by, too, reading Wacky Wednesday.
Over in Mrs. Broyles and Mrs. Boster’s classes, Coach Law read Tacky - her favorite because it’s all about a cheer competition - and even showed the class the cheer!
We love seeing our community come together to celebrate reading!
