Newsletter for August, 2016
From the Principal…
This is my 16th year as principal at Alma Intermediate School, and I’m more excited than ever. I feel an intense thankfulness for the work we do in education. As a parent, I’ve seen the positive influence our teachers and schools had on the lives of my daughters.
I’ve now been a principal in Alma long enough to have the privilege of hiring former students to teach at AIS. I’ve also received medical care from former students, and that will make you sit up and pay attention! In both cases, it has been a joy to see these young adults using their knowledge and skills to help others and contribute to our community.
Seeing the words of our school’s mission statement become a reality in the lives of young people is what drives us to be the best teachers, principals, and parents we can possibly be for our children. Thank you for the honor of working with your child, the most treasured person if your life. We look forward to great learning this year!

From the Principal…
Our teachers are inspiring! Over the last two weeks, I visited more than twenty classrooms and am looking forward to more this week.
Entering a classroom is like entering a little community built around learning. The mix of personalities and strengths is unique in every room. Teachers orchestrate learning experiences for students in a way that sometimes has a magical quality. It’s fun to watch!
I’m thankful for our teachers and staff and their positive approach to teaching. I’m thankful for our students and the enthusiasm they bring to learning. I’m looking forward to a great 2016-17 school year!
