Earlier this year, Mrs. Bush was awarded some grant funds from the Kenowa Hills Education Foundation (KHEF) to begin a Journalism Club at Alpine Elementary. Fifth grade students have learned how to use technology to create an online newsletter. Students are responsible for managing the website and creating the content included. Students are very excited about being part of this club and gathering the information. This is a wonderful experience for our students and something our students hope to build on! This newsletter is called, The Alpine Advance. The Alpine Advance has all you need to know about Alpine Elementary, the community and the world. Here is the website so you can check it out: |

In the month of March, Mrs. Herman was awarded by WGVU their "Cool Teacher" award. One of Mrs. Herman's students, Hannah Haines, found out about their Cool Teacher Contest and decided to nominate Mrs. Herman due how much she cares for Mrs. Herman and how much she enjoys being her in class. Hannah Haines submitted a letter to WGVU for their Cool Teacher Contest about Mrs. Herman (a copy of the letter is attached below). They choose about 25 teachers to honor per year. Hannah's letter was chosen and WGVU came to tape at Alpine Elementary on March 28th. In addition, to the recognition, the class won a Papa John's Pizza Party. Furthermore, Mrs. Herman's family and the Haines's family both got four Amtrak train tickets to Chicago. |

Alpine Elementary's annual food drive has come to end and we are excited to share the results! Our students were able to collect approximately 900 pounds of food. The food was organized into 14 food baskets that were delivered to families before Thanksgiving break. Each basket included a $20.00 gift card to purchase other necessary food items that may be needed. Students donated non-perishable food items and raised money to buy food for the baskets by bringing a dollar to wear a hat on hat day. In addition, Alpine staff raised money by donating to wear jeans on jean day. As a school we raised $280.00. Assisting us in our drive was our community partners Crowe-Howrath. |

In order to celebrate Halloween and our school community, we will be having a Multi-Age day and our annual Halloween parade on Friday, October 29. In the morning, students will be divided into multi-age groups and will be rotating to various teachers for fun activities. This is a great way for our older students to be a role model for our younger ones as well as help all students build relationships with new friends and different teachers. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact your child's teacher. We look forward to a day filled of fun and learning! |
