Second graders wrote persuasive letters to Ms.Becher requesting some food items be served more frequently at lunch. There were requests for French fries, frozen strawberries, salad, fruit and specifically pomegranates. Ms.Becher wrote a letter back to each student saying that it's important to eat a variety of healthy foods but she still treated them to some fries and pomegranates.

Today our Albany Middle School FBLA students traveled to West Bend, WI High School to participate in FBLA's Southern WI Middle School Regional Leadership Conference. Our students had the opportunity to compete in competitive events, attend workshops, and enjoyed a show from magician Kirk Patrick. They all had a great time and 3 of our students placed in the top 5 of their competitive events.
- Jena Jones, 4th Place, Career Exploration
- Matthew Thompson, 3rd Place, Exploring Agribusiness
- Carter Crain, 1st Place, Exploring Computer Science

Those three and all our other middle school members now have the choice to attend and compete in the FBLA Middle School State Leadership Conference at the Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells on March 8th and 9th.

Great job Chase, Chase, Maddie, Jena, Matthew, and Carter! You all were amazing representatives of Albany Middle School in our inaugural year as an FBLA chapter.

TDS donated $1K to support snacks for Albany, Wis., elementary school students
Madison, Wisconsin (January 5, 2026)—TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is donating $1,000 to
Albany Elementary School to provide snacks for students during the school day for the remainder of the
academic year. Healthy snacks help children by making up for skipped meals and providing the nutrients
kids need to learn and play.
“As TDS deepens its commitment to Albany through high-speed internet network upgrades, we’re also
proud to step up our community giving,” said TDS Associate Manager of Field Marketing Liz Menz.
“We’re excited to make this donation and help support Albany Elementary School students and
families.”
TDS broke ground in mid-2025 on a multi-year network upgrade project to bring at least 100 Mbps and
up to 1 Gig internet service to addresses in the company’s Albany-area footprint. The Madison-
headquartered company is using the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Enhanced Alternative
Connect America Cost Model program (E-ACAM) to help fund the work. E-ACAM provides funding to
deploy and support 100/20 Mbps or faster broadband service to some of TDS’ most rural geographies.
Construction on the new infrastructure includes accessing public utility easements to install conduit and
fiber-optic cables, as well as upgrading aerial cables. The faster speeds will become available to
customers in phases as construction progresses. 
TDS’ philanthropic donation in Albany comes on the heels of the company’s support of a special Holiday
Pop-up Food Pantry in Janesville. By partnering with the YMCA and ECHO, Inc., the program made easy-
grab meals available over the school district’s winter break so families would not experience food
insecurity.
TDS has been Albany’s local communications provider for 30 years. For more information about TDS
service upgrades visit tdstelecom.com/support/networkupgrades.html.
