8th Grade End of Year Celebration

We are excited to announce that the 8th grade celebration this year will be on May 21st from 4:00-5:30 pm.

We are requesting a voluntary donation of $20.00, which you can pay through Revtrak or drop off at the front office, to support the party. If you want to help support other 8th graders, you can donate more than the suggested amount. However, all donations are 100% optional, and all students will participate in the celebration regardless of whether a donation is made.

Donations will be accepted through May 21st. Make your donation on RevTrak using this link.

If you have any questions about the 8th grade celebration or are interested in helping, please contact Molly Walsh, a member of our Parent Leadership Team, at  [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your help and support!

We truly appreciate the support of our Altona families and look forward to celebrating your students’ transition from middle school to high school!

Spring Social

Get ready to SHINE! Our spring dance is getting a GLOW UP! Forget the fancy red carpet – it’s time to light up the night! Come dressed in your brightest neons and whites, ready to dance under the disco ball. We’ll have awesome music, cool glowing decorations, and a night full of vibrant fun. 

Don’t miss the GLOW UP DANCE on Friday, May 2nd from 4:00 to 5:30 at Altona Middle School. 

Tickets are $5 each or $6 with a glowstick, and on sale at lunch the week of the dance as well as at the door.

 Let’s make this dance absolutely ELECTRIC! 

We will need volunteers to help run the social, as well as donations for concessions. Please be on the lookout for more information and links to help coming soon.
