ALMAS says Thanks!

The Board approved a $2,500 donation to Henry Sibley's ALMAS Club to support its on-going needs and activities.  ALMAS is a group made up of Anglos and Latinos with the goal if increasing the graduation rate of Latinos at the High School - and it's working!  By getting these kids involved in positive outreach and volunteer activities they are seeing the benefits of staying in school and graduating so that they can make a good life for themselves.  However, the Board requested that the ALMAS Club assist with our rose fundraiser in the spring and attend more of our Club meetings on a regular basis.  After finding out about the financial support, Rob Hanson, the school's supervisor of the ALMAS Club sent the following note:

 

"Thanks so much for continuing to support ALMAS' work and progress.  I am very enthused also with the idea of helping us "earn" more money to help us with further goals.  Work ethic is a worthy goal for all of our youth."

 

So, when you see younger faces at our Club meetings, welcome them!
