A Slam Dunk for Reading! 📚🏀
Several kindergarten classes at Alma Primary School welcomed special visitors this afternoon as members of the Airedale varsity basketball team stopped by to read with students! The players will return this spring, when the roles will reverse and the kindergarteners will get to read to them. We love seeing our students connect across campuses!

Today, Alma School District pauses to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the courage and sacrifice of so many, and reflect on the unity that brought our nation together. We will never forget.
STEM Learning Meets Civic Reflection
In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, Alma High School Environmental Science students explored the unique connection between remembrance and modern green engineering through a case study of the National 9/11 Memorial fountains.
After watching Inside the Nightly Cleaning of the 9/11 Memorial, students examined how real-time sensors, energy-efficient equipment and sustainable water-management practices keep the massive outdoor fountains operating year-round while supporting the memorial’s LEED Gold standards. The lesson challenged students to consider how engineers balance conservation, safety, reliability, cost and design when solving complex environmental problems.
This meaningful lesson blended science, engineering and civic reflection - demonstrating how thoughtful technology and human care can work together to honor history and build a more sustainable future.
