Principal's Message
Hello Alder Families,
As we welcome the month of December and the crisp cold air, let's remember the joy that the holidays bring. As we move through the holiday season, we are emphasizing compassion as our focus for December. We encourage students to show kindness and understanding in their interactions at school, at home, and in our community. Our activities and discussions this month will center on how small acts of care can make a big difference.
We’re kicking off December with a special Pep Rally to honor our students' hard work and dedication to academics. This event is designed to inspire and motivate everyone to keep striving for excellence. It’s important to recognize not just achievements but also the effort and resilience our students demonstrate daily. Please continue to encourage your child to try their best.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to make December a month of achievement, generosity, and connection.
Sincerely,
Ms. Cunningham
Teacher of the Year & Education Support Staff of the Year
Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Savino (Child Study Team: LDTC ) as our Educational Support Staff and Mr. Ferriola (7th grade Science teacher) as our Teacher of the Year. This honor reflects their commitment to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment. Their dedication to our students and school community is truly inspiring.
