Greetings, Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of the Classes of 2024 & 2025: As a representative of Jostens, a proud partner of schools in Northern Michigan, I was recently at school to visit the Sophomores & Juniors to discuss the opportunity for students to order their customized class jewelry. Students in attendance received a packet with information. The envelope contains a QR code on the front that will lead directly to the school's page at Jostens.com for online ordering. Please visit the school page here: https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1065162/Alba-High-School/ Please note in the packet or online the promotion that Jostens is currently running this week with the purchase of the class ring. The important promotional order deadline is Wednesday, November 16. A member of our Jostens team will be in school at 2:15 PM on that day to display merchandise, assist with any student needs and/or questions, and to collect any hard copy order forms with payment. While the hard copy order forms in the packet will certainly be accepted, online ordering is recommended. Jostens offers flexible payment plans in making affordability a top priority. Please check the packet and/or website for payment plan options, including a 3-pay, 4-pay, or the new J-Pay 12 payment plan for class ring purchases. Take great care!

Happy Friday! We have completed another week of school. However, before it ended the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade had the opportunity to take a Field Trip to Boyne Falls to learn about the Fly Wheelers and their preservation of local history. They avoided the rain, it did warm up just a bit on the first day of Fall, and they arrived back to the school with smiles and great memories!

Good Thursday Afternoon! We are almost to the end of the week. Tomorrow night, Friday, the Varsity Volleyball team will be entertaining Lancers of Ellsworth at 5:30 p.m. If you have a chance take the opportunity to see the girls play. Mr. Grangood

Good Afternoon! Quick reminder, Grades 4, 5, and 6 will be headed to the Flywheelers in Boyne Falls for a field trip. Excellent opportunity to learn, socialize with other schools, and enjoy an experience outside of the classroom. Have a wonderful evening Wildcat family. Mr. Grangood

Good Afternoon! Since we are well into our second full week of school, and coming to the end of September, students are bringing on snacks to enjoy throughout the day. We strongly encourage them to have snacks, especially healthy snacks. Even though we would suggest carrots and celery, not even adults would want to eat that everyday. However, a snack with low sugar, less caffeine, and more hydrating is promoted. Have a great evening! Mr. Grangood

Happy Monday! We are off to another week of school. One quick note, Friday, September 30 we are planning a Community Luncheon. The menu theme is "summer" which means burgers, hotdogs, and salads. If you can make it, or know someone who can, please put it on your calendar. Have a great evening!
