WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Week of June 15, 2025
Hello Alder Families,
As we bring the 2024–2025 school year to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for your partnership, support, and involvement throughout the year. It’s been a wonderful year filled with learning, growth, and countless memorable moments that have made our Alder community great.
Our students have worked hard in and out of the classroom from tackling new challenges, celebrating achievements, and showing tremendous school spirit. From academic projects and classroom celebrations to school wide events like our Booster-thon, and Pep Rallies, themed spirit weeks, and Renaissance celebrations it’s been a year filled with opportunities for students to connect, collaborate, and shine.
I’m especially proud of the way our students have embraced new learning experiences, supported one another, and represented Alder with pride. Events like our Proud to be an American, Career Fair, Read Across America to name a few, helped create a positive, engaging atmosphere where every student had a chance to be recognized and involved.
As we head into summer break, I want to thank our incredible staff for their dedication and care, and our families for the trust you place in us each day. It’s this partnership that makes Alder such a positive and supportive place for students to learn and grow.
Wishing you all a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer! We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September for another exciting year at Alder Avenue Middle School.
With appreciation and #EHTPride,
Ms. Cunningham
