The Golf Meet scheduled for Tuesday, April 20th in Alma has been postponed to a future date TBD. This postponement is due to the predicted weather for tomorrow.

This will depend on the amount of snow that accumulates over night tonight and a decision will be made by mid morning. Either way school will still be dismissed at 12:00 pm tomorrow. Stay posted.
