Alder Weekly Update
Week of November 21, 2021
Message from the Principal
Hello Parents, Staff, and Students,
This was a short but activity filled week at Alder as everyone tried to get a full week of learning into 3 days! The marking period ended and grades were posted by teachers on Monday. Please check the parent portal to view grades as they have been made available to parents since late afternoon on Tuesday.
Egg Harbor Township High School will host an open house on Wednesday, December 8th at 6:00 pm, starting in the HS Auditorium. This will be an opportunity to highlight all that the high school has to offer…everything from academics to athletics to activities and more. First, a short welcome and presentation will be shared. Then, students/parents will have the opportunity to explore F- wing. Senior Ambassadors will be stationed to assist and answer questions. It helps our students to hear from fellow students and ask questions directly to them. We will have coaches, advisors, and teachers set up in the gym/auditorium, so that they can also visit those tables and ask questions too!
On behalf of the Alder School family, we would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for our Alder students and your parental support. Enjoy this simple holiday as we gear up for Winter holidays to come!
Have a great extended weekend off and see you back on 11/29,
Maryann GIardina

What attracted you to Alder Avenue Middle School/Egg Harbor Township School District
The district's mission statement is what attracted me to EHT; Embrace, Engage, and Educate. These are values that I have always striven for since I began my journey in education.
What is your favorite part so far?
My favorite part so far would definitely be the faculty and students. There is a sense of community within the school that it is hard to explain. It's truly an amazing time working here.
What has been/or do you think will be your greatest challenge this year?
I think the greatest challenge this year will be getting the students back in the rhythm of in person schooling and getting them acclimated back into the classroom.
What are you most excited about this school year?
I'm excited to be a part of the 8th grade class journey and helping them achieve their goals as best as possible.
Where did you go to school? What degree did you earn?
I first went to Rowan University where I got my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. After, I attended Stockton University where I got my second degree in Education.
Any fun facts you would like to share about yourself?
I am an avid sports fan! I love watching games but I have also coached soccer, field hockey, and I am currently the coach of the EHT Eagles Freshman Volleyball team!
