Seeking Nominations For Local Veterans!
The Albany High School Civics students and local volunteers are looking to honor a local veteran on Veterans Day! The purpose is to nominate a local veteran that you feel is deserving of a quilt in recognition of their service to our country. Nominations can be made on behalf of local veterans or local veterans are able to nominate themselves. Nomination forms can be found at Greenwood State Bank, Albany Village Hall, Albertson Memorial Library, and soon the Albany Legion.
Once nominations are received, the Quilt Award committee will go through the nominations and pick an individual to receive their quilt at the Veterans Assembly hosted by the School District of Albany around Veterans Day. Due to the number of deserving local veterans, we are not accepting nominations for active duty members of the military at this time. Also, we are unable to give a quilt posthumously.
All nominations can be dropped off in the Albany School District office or mailed to the address below. All nominations must be postmarked or dropped off at the office by October 10th, 2024. The number of quilts awarded is determined by the number of donated quilts the committee has to distribute each year.
Please return your form by mail to Albany School District c/o Jeff Campbell, 309 Vinton St., P.O. Box 349, Albany, WI 53502. You may also drop off the form directly to the district office.
If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Campbell at jeff.campbell@albany.k12.wi.us or call (608) 862-3135 Ext. 2113.
The Albany, Juda and Monticello marching bands are joining forces for this Sunday's Cheese Days parade at 12:30 in Monroe.
Today, the Elementary School students enjoyed a preview of their performance, a visit from Albany's Dairy Queen, and some cheese!
Some 5th grade students worked on an enrichment project to make polygon mobiles while also using engineering skills to be sure they balance.
A few 8th-grade Career and Technology Education students have just completed their Bluebird houses. Great Work.
Today, 6th grade students collected data for how fast it takes a piece of paper to fall to the floor when dropped from various heights. They used the data to create a histogram that they could analyze.
On Friday, September 20th the Parkview-Albany varsity football team will travel to Dodgeland HS for a match-up at 7:00pm. Dodgeland HS uses digital admission only for specators. GoFan digital is the digital application used to purchase tickets as a specators.
Cash is NOT accepted for admissions. The elimination of fan frustration is contingent on everyone being informed in advance for the need to purchase a GoFan digital admission ticket. Purchasing tickets online in advance of arrival is recommended as it makes for a quick entrance into the event. Dodgeland HS will also have iPads with card readers and trained admission personnel for anyone needing assistance upon arrival - just bring your charge card and the workers will help.
