Thank you so much for supporting our students and helping make this a fun and memorable event for everyone!
Our 4th graders in Mrs. McClish’s class became the teachers throughout the week! These students researched and presented on topics they were passionate about while teaching their classmates just like real educators. From squishies, animals, and dinosaurs…OH MY! There are so many creative topics and engaging lessons shared throughout the classroom. Students even planned activities connected to their topics and thought carefully about how they would know if their classmates truly understood what they were teaching. The classroom was filled with curiosity, collaboration, and LOTS of great questions from classmates to their “teachers!” 👏
We can’t wait for our AMES Fun Fest! 😀 We are looking for volunteers to help make this event a success on Friday, May 15th. Your support truly makes a difference, and we appreciate any time you can give. As a thank you, each volunteer will receive one free bracelet for their student to use that evening. This is limited to one bracelet per parent. If both parents volunteer, your family will receive two bracelets. We are also continuing to collect donations so our Tigers and their families can earn fun prizes during Fun Fest. Thank you for helping us create a fun experience for our school community!
We are excited to host the Scholastic Book Fair this week for our Tigers! Our eWallet option is up and running, making it easy and convenient for students to shop without cash. Students will have the opportunity to visit the book fair during their scheduled library time. We can’t wait to see our students explore new books and grow their love of reading!
Something similar (or exactly like) this: Today our Alexandria Tigers participated in the Indiana Children’s Folk Dance Festival for the very fist time! Our participating students worked hard preparing 13 dances from 10 different countries from around the world. They performed along side several other school with over 150 students total. We are so proud of their hard work and how they represented our school at this exciting event!
This guy is the ONLY second grader to remember what a CI (Continuous Improvement) round meant when they visited the Advanced Manufacturing class as part of the manufacturing lesson in Design Studio. Nice job, Nikolai!!
P.I.G. Month was an amazing success! Poetry Is Great! A big thank you to Miss Nichols for sparking a love of poetry in our students. From exploring rhyming words to making inferences, students were engaged, excited, and growing as readers all month long. The month-long poetry bingo boards made it even more fun by encouraging everyone to try new activities along the way. Today, many students won prizes for their efforts throughout the month. We love seeing our Tigers shine!

Mrs. Sarno’s third grade students took their learning beyond the classroom and into the sunshine! After studying the attributes of quadrilaterals, students headed outside with sidewalk chalk to create their own shapes. This hands on learning experience allowed students to apply their skills in a fun, meaningful way by combining math, creativity, and movement.
What a wonderful evening celebrating the incredible educators in our community at the 12th Annual Max Beigh Enriching Education Awards! A special shoutout to Mrs. Angela Langlie- Lesnik, our amazing music teacher at Alexandria Monroe Elementary. From Pre-K through 6th grade, she inspires a love of music in every student she teaches. 🎶 Mrs. L’s positivity is contagious. She brings out the very best in our students and our staff while making music engaging, exciting, and fun. From choir and theater to concerts and even square dancing, she creates opportunities for students to explore new cultures, try new things, and shine with confidence. Thanks, Mrs. L!
