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. 💜

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!
