Next week is Read Across America week in honor of Dr. Seuss. Each day we will be celebrating with a reading activity and dress up day!

If you would like to have a team in the Alexander High School Student Council Golf Scramble, please contact Amber Severson. Student teams are also looking for business sponsors. If you are willing to sponsor a team or donate door prizes it would help reach our fundraising goal to purchase a school mascot.
Thanks!
Thanks!
