Alexander Elementary School

Hello Parents/Guardians, Alexander Elementary Schools Open House is Monday, August 8th, from 3:30-6:00pm. Thank you.

THANK YOU!!!! We have received enough donations to order a NightLock door lock for every classroom throughout our district. We have chosen to purchase the locks and get them installed ourselves to save money and make the donations go further. Look for a future announcement asking for volunteers in the installation of the locks. We would like to thank everyone that donated and helped make this happen. We will leave the gofundme open to continue to add locks to other doors throughout our system but priority one has been met and the locks are ordered. Commerce Schools and the Tiger Foundation would sincerely like to thank the following for making this happen - Quapaw Nation Eastern Shawnee Tribe Ottawa Tribe Miranda Varner April Johnson Christina Riggs Graham Heather Kelly Alondra Solis Jessica Self Adriana Rodriguez Marie Wallace Yulianna Gutierrez Catie Boman Rachael Dawn Lorie Gann Kit Ulrey Maycee North Breanna Craghead Kennon Law Office Syler and Angel Riggs Steve and Stacy Moss Tiffany Garner Nathan Webb Kevin Reading Jan Lee Jazmin Pinales Pam Waltz William White Bobbi Ollis Beverly Johnson Jessica Wade Jonathan Duboise Cessna Foran Jeanne Corn Rhonda Klindworth David Dean Breanna Elliott Ryan Rutledge Chandler Edwards Shala Radcliff Dorothy Williams Halle North The students and staff are very appreciative and will greatly benefit from the added layer of safety these will provide. https://gofund.me/03977244 GO TIGERS!

We are now accepting these applications IN-PERSON at our administrative offices at 217 Commerce Street, the office is open from 8am-4pm daily. 4.

Alan (Mr. Guck) McGuckin who has made a living as a marketing guy in the bass fishing industry for the past 27 years, representing brands such as Toyota Trucks, Carhartt, Terminator Lures, Costa eyewear, and Yamaha, shared his on-going passion for all things fishing, ecology, and nature by teaching a simplified lesson about the "Freshwater Energy Food Chain Pyramid." 4th graders used popcorn to represent plankton, goldfish crackers to represent primary consumer baitfish, and largemouth bass cupcakes to represent the predator portion of the energy pyramid. Thank you Mr. McGuckin!
