Alder Weekly Update
June 5, 2022
Message from the Principal
Hello Parents, Staff, and Students,
Another exciting week has come to a close and the end is looking, and feeling very near! This week we honored our highest achieving students at the National Junior Honor Society Induction on Monday. It was a beautiful ceremony highlighted by student speeches in the five areas of Scholarship, Citizenship, Service, Leadership, and Character.
Our 8th graders participated in the Financial Literacy Fair on Wednesday, helping them prepare for future important money making decisions! Students were challenged with games that depicted real life situations they may encounter. Our Supervisor of Technology, Dr. Carmelita Graham along with Mrs. Fairchild and the CTE teachers of Alder did an amazing job of providing students with a fun, engaging, and relevant experience they'll use throughout their lives!
On Thursday, it was off to Wildwood for our 8th graders and a "Fun Day" at school for 6th and 7th graders. 8th grade had an awesome day at Mariner's Landing and Raging Waters in Wildwood. The weather was sunny and beautiful and everyone enjoyed a day filled with rides, fries, funnel cakes, and ice cream! Needless to say, there were a few sleeping students on the bus ride home!
Back at Alder, our 6th and 7th graders enjoyed playing basketball, volleyball, and even had a blow-up obstacle course! They finished their day with Rita's Water Ice! Thanks to our PE teachers, especially, Mrs. McCullen for her diligent planning of the day and helping us to execute it so seamlessly! She even had a Plan B in case of rain!
As our Renaissance themed year, Alder Runs On......comes to a close, Mr. McCafferty and his Media Club used their talents and creativity to capture our school and what they've run on this year. The video is amazing! The link to it is below.
Please enjoy the pictures from this week as they capture our students and teachers delighting in all of it!
Enjoy the weekend!
