Dear Alexander Families,

Thank you for helping with our fall fundraiser! These supplemental funds go a long way in supporting extra resources, programs, and student activities that are not covered by the budget. This is the final weekend to help out! All paper order forms and payments need to be returned to school by Tuesday, Sept. 22nd, but the online store will still be open for about another week for last-minute orders.
