Hello Alexander,
Over the past three years, our newsletter has become quite popular with our Spartan families. I’m proud of how it has grown and of the connections it continues to foster within our community.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not be able to offer a printed and mailed version of the spring edition. We are currently looking for a new business partner to handle the production of the newsletter. However, this change will not happen in time for the summer distribution. As a result, the 2025 spring newsletter will be available only on our website and Facebook page. Feel free to share it with anyone who will enjoy it! William Hampton - Superintendent.

The Alexander PTO has decided to hold its annual ice cream social at the beginning of the school year rather than at the end. So this year's ice cream social is scheduled for Monday, August 11th from 5:30 to 7:30. Please save the date! We will send a reminder at the end of summer.
Here is information on how to order this year's elementary yearbook.
If your student has medication in the clinic please make arrangements to pick up supplies or call the clinic to make other arrangements. All remaining medications will be disposed of at the end of the year. Thank you.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is field day. The field will likely be a little wet from all the rain. Please make sure your child is wearing appropriate shoes and dressed for the weather. We suggest you apply sunscreen ahead and send your child with a water bottle.

To help celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, the PTO wanted to provide a way for friends and families to show our appreciation for our wonderful teachers. Here are links for teachers who have set up an E-Wallet for this coming week's Book Fair. If you scan the QR code, it will take you to where you can load money directly into their account. The teacher can then use that money towards items at our book fair or online at Scholastic.

Alexander will once again be a pick-up location for the Athens County Children's Services Peanut Butter and Jelly Program. Here is the flyer with all of the dates and times.
Carnival is a free event for our Alexander Elementary families! This year, we are raffling off a select amount of special prizes for the children that attend. In order for your child to be entered into the raffle, they must have their game card (ticket) stamped with a certain amount of completed games on the card. Another way to earn ONE extra ticket into the drawing is by bringing in a non-perishable food item that will go directly to the elementary resource room. With summer break quickly approaching, we are hoping to stock up the resource room with food that can be sent home with students this summer. *bringing an item is NOT required to enter and enjoy the carnival. It is just an opportunity to donate to the resource room*
