Reminding parents that student drop off starts at 7:15 each day at Alma Spikes. I am sending home individual reminders to those arriving too early but wanted to thank those parents following this guideline.
Cookie Dough order forms are out there. Alma students are offering as many people as possible this chance to order. This weekend is a great time to order. Find an Alma student and help them win chances to dunk me in our dunking booth!! Yours Truly, Mr. Carter

Mr. Martens did a read aloud in Mrs. Brandt's second grade class last week. He read "Billy Bloo is Stuck in Goo". The students loved his read aloud and enjoyed his explanations! Especially, the one about the loo! The students hope he can come do a read aloud again soon!
