Principal's Message

Dear Alder Families,

I am thrilled to share that our Red Ribbon Spirit Week was a fantastic success, bringing together students and staff in a celebration of positive choices, school pride, and fun! Each themed day was met with enthusiastic participation, and it was wonderful to see our Alder spirit on full display.

To conclude the week, students enjoyed a Halloween Dance, creating lasting memories with friends. It was a great way to end the week on a high note, and we thank everyone involved in organizing such a memorable event.

Additionally, I’d like to extend a special recognition to our Gifted and Talented (GT) students who participated in the Quiz Bowl at St. Augustine Prep. They represented Alder exceptionally well, demonstrating knowledge, teamwork, and school pride.

Thank you for your continued support in making Alder such a vibrant and positive community. Here’s to more fantastic events and accomplishments in the months ahead!


Warm regards,

Mrs. Cunningham
