Principal's Message
Hello Alder Families,
The holiday spirit was alive and well at Alder this week. We are thrilled to share the heartwarming moments and festive activities that filled our hallways with joy and created an atmosphere of togetherness, celebration and learning.
We started the week with our Alder choir performing for a packed house at the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. Thank you for Mrs. Weather for helping our students achieve this opportunity of a lifetime.
Our Holiday market was very successful. Students created festive ornaments to delectable treats, each item is a testament to the spirit of giving and creativity that defines our school. The creativity and craftsmanship on display were truly remarkable!
We want to extend heartfelt wishes for a joyous holiday season and a well-deserved, relaxing winter break. May this holiday be filled with warmth, laughter, and moments of rest and relaxation. Take this time to recharge, surrounded by the love of family and friends. May the new year bring fresh opportunities and continued prosperity to each of you.
Thank you for making Alder such a great place. Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year!
Sincerely,
Ms. Cunningham
