Alma School District is proud to be a Purple Star District, and even more proud of the military-connected students and families who are part of our school community.
Military children give up so much - moving to new places, starting over, and spending time apart from loved ones - yet they show up every day with strength and resilience that inspires us all.
This month, we simply want to say thank you. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are honored to support you here at Alma School District.
You will always have a home in the Airedale family. 💜
