Green House was our first House Champs! We invite all students to wear green to celebrate Kindness tomorrow!
The second grade superstars at Alexander Wilson recently celebrated their incredible reading growth with a fantastic "Camp Read-a-Lot" Day! 📚🎉 The students were treated to surprises throughout the day, including Mystery Reader appearances by parents, older siblings, school staff, and even Interim Superintendent Dr. Harrison. 📖💡 We couldn't be more proud of these young readers for their dedication and progress. Keep shining bright, second graders! 🌟
Congratulations to Kelly Corum, School Nurse at Alexander Wilson Elementary, for being named the ABSS School Nurse of the Year! 🎉👩⚕️
Kelly's unwavering dedication, expertise, and compassion have made her an indispensable asset to the school community. As Principal Ashley Westmoreland stated, "Kelly approaches each situation with empathy and proficiency. Her ability to provide immediate medical assistance while simultaneously offering comfort and reassurance is truly commendable."
Beyond her exceptional care for students and staff, Kelly's commitment to preventative care has significantly contributed to the overall well-being of the school. Through educational initiatives like the growing up class for 5th graders and proactive health screenings, including multiple dental van opportunities, Kelly has empowered the community to prioritize their health and adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
We are incredibly proud of Kelly and grateful for her tireless efforts in promoting a culture of wellness at Alexander Wilson Elementary. Congratulations once again on this well-deserved recognition! 🏆💐

Congratulations to Alexander Wilson Elementary on being recognized as a Participate Learning Global Leaders Showcase school! 🌍📚
This prestigious honor celebrates schools that cultivate students as true #GlobalLeaders, empowering them with the attitudes, skills, and knowledge needed to understand global issues, think critically, communicate effectively across cultures, and take action to improve our world.
All 3rd-5th grade students gathered in the cafeteria for the banner reveal and recognition of Alexander Wilson's new Showcase status. Then, in the second half, every K-5 Spanish Immersion class took the stage, with students of all ages impressively demonstrating Spanish proficiency with cultural songs and skits.
The 5th graders concluded the event by presenting an entire class project—originally created in Spanish—completely in English with remarkable poise and skill. Their ability to communicate across languages so effectively was an inspiring showcase of the global leadership cultivated at the school.
We're so proud of the students and staff at Alexander Wilson Elementary for embodying what it means to be globally competent leaders and learners. Thank you to Participate Learning for this recognition and providing some great prizes for the staff and students!
¡Felicidades! 🥳
