WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Special 8th Grade Edition
Dear Alder Avenue Families,
As we close out another incredible school year, I want to take a moment to celebrate and congratulate our amazing 8th-grade class. Last week we celebrated 292 students during the 8th Grade Moving Up Celebration. This remarkable group has truly left their mark on Alder Avenue Middle School, and while it’s bittersweet to see them go, we are so proud to watch them move on to new adventures at Egg Harbor Township High School.
Throughout their time here, our 8th graders have embodied what it means to Embrace, Engage, and Educate. They have embraced challenges with resilience, engaged in meaningful learning and friendships, and allowed themselves to be educated not just academically, but in character, leadership, and community spirit.
To our students, thank you for the energy, heart, and determination you brought to our halls every day. To our families, thank you for your partnership, support, and trust in us as we helped guide your children through these important years.
As they step into high school, we know they will continue to lead, learn, and lift one another up. Once an Alder Eagle, always an Alder Eagle! Wishing our 8th graders the very best on this next chapter.
With pride and gratitude,
Tatiana Cunningham
