We want to extend a big thank you to our School Resource Officer for visiting Halverson and spending time with our students last week! Officer Huse spoke with students about a variety of important topics, helping to build trust, promote safety, and support positive relationships within our school community. Our students appreciated the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the role of a police officer in and out of school. We’re grateful for the partnership and continued support—thank you for being a valuable part of our Halverson family!

Thank You for a Wonderful Carnival Night! A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Halverson School Carnival! The event was a tremendous success! It wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our volunteers, staff, and families. From running games and serving food to helping with setup and cleanup, your time and energy made the evening so special for our students and community. It was a joy to see so many smiling faces and families having fun together. We’re so grateful to be part of such a caring and connected school community. Thank you for making the night one to remember!

Halverson Penny Wars is getting exciting! As we kick off Day 3, we already have three classes working on their second bucket - Mrs. Hegwood’s, Miss Lunning’s, and Miss Mueller’s classes are leading the charge! The competition runs until the end of the school day on Friday, so there’s still time to join the fun. Thank you to all the students and families who are participating and supporting this event! Keep those pennies coming!

The 2024-2025 Tiger Yearbook program has been awarded gold status by Jostens, our yearbook publishing company. The National Yearbook Program of Excellence awards gold to yearbook programs who have met all their deadlines, featured over half of the student body three times or more, and boosted yearbook sales from previous years. This is an incredible achievement by our students and a testament to all their hard work.

Mrs. Nelson's advisory class at Southwest Middle School (pictured here) led the charge on an eyeglass donation earlier this year. With the help of everyone at Albert Lea Area Schools they were able to donate 93 pairs of glasses to the local lions club who will use them for people in need. Thank you to everyone who help support this cause.
