A hot summer evening didn't stop our Tiger families from enjoying the Alexandria Community Schools’ Bookmobile after the Tiger Food Pantry! 📚 Thank you to everyone who stopped by for free books and popsicles yesterday. A special thank you to Miss Meredith Nichols, Mrs. Erin Nichols, and Mrs. Monica Etchison for hosting the bookmobile. It was wonderful seeing so many smiling faces and hearing about your summer adventures!
Congratulations to our amazing Summer School Tigers! We are so proud of these students for their outstanding attendance, hard work, and dedication to learning. Throughout summer school, they have stayed focused on strengthening their reading skills by exploring both fiction and nonfiction texts, building vocabulary, improving comprehension, and applying reading strategies each day.
Keep up the great work, Tigers!
Before summer school wrapped up for the day, our students enjoyed a visit to the Alexandria Community Schools’ Bookmobile! This opportunity came from a thoughtful suggestion by one of our own Summer School Scholars, Tyson. Thanks to his great idea, students were able to select free books to take home and enjoy throughout the summer. It was wonderful to see so many Tigers excited about reading, browsing the Bookmobile, and enjoying a popsicle with friends! Happy reading, Tigers! 
Ruff, ruff, ruff! 🐾 Our Summer School Scholars had some very special visitors today! Puppies in training stopped by to cheer on and encourage our Tigers, and there were plenty of smiles to go around. Students had the opportunity to interact with the puppies and learn about each dog's unique personalities. A special thank you to Mrs. Swegman and Mrs. Burnett for helping organize this wonderful opportunity for our students. We can't wait to learn more about our four-legged friends in the weeks ahead! 🐶
There will be a Tiger Food Pantry today at the elementary school starting at 4:00PM. The Bookmobile will also be open for students.
FREE food, books, and popsicles! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Wednesday, June 10th, at the Tiger Food Pantry and Bookmobile at Alexandria Monroe Elementary.
Our Summer School Tigers have been hard at work building their literacy skills! Students have been focusing on phonics, using context clues to determine word meanings, and strengthening their reading comprehension. We are proud of their dedication, effort, and positive attitudes toward learning. Keep up the great work, Tigers! We hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend, and we'll see you on Monday, Tigers!
Lunch with our Summer School Scholars! 📚It was great spending time with our students during lunch today! Our Summer School Scholars have been working hard, strengthening their vocabulary skills and practicing important reading comprehension strategies. Students are learning to look back in the text to find evidence and support their answers to comprehension questions, helping them become stronger, more confident readers.

Miss Couch’s 5th grade class combined math, creativity, and teamwork in a hands-on building project! Students designed and constructed structures using precise measurements, then created scaled blueprints with accurate labels for length, width, and height. They also reflected in writing on the importance of their building in a town and the challenges they overcame during the process. We are so proud of their problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking skills!
Mrs. Bauer’s students were inspired by the Artemis 2 mission and their reading curriculum to take a deeper dive into our Solar System! Each of the students picked their own topic to research and presented to classes about their new learning. Thank you to Mrs. Bauer and her class for teaching us more about our solar system, astronauts, and even tacos in space!
