38 Days, 38 Schools: Alexander Wilson Elementary 🦅
Alexander Wilson Elementary School is a vibrant and engaging learning environment where students are at the center of everything. 🌟 This year's theme, "Together, We can Change the World!" has been brought to life through the school's designation as a Participate Learning Global Showcase School. All students have been actively involved in Action Projects tied to the Sustainable Development Goals, helping them recognize their importance as contributing members of society. 🌍
One of the highlights of the 2023-2024 school year has been the introduction of themed "color houses" that all students and staff were sorted into. 🏘️ This initiative has fostered a sense of community, friendly competition, and mutual support as members encourage one another to reach their full potential. From the sorting celebration in the fall to the quarterly house meetings and the collection of house points, the color houses have added an exciting layer of motivation and school spirit. 🏆
With a mission statement of "Empowering every Eagle, every day, to SOAR!!!," Alexander Wilson Elementary is committed to providing a rich and empowering learning experience for all students. 🦅 The collective efficacy of the staff and students in embracing each day's potential has made this an amazing school year so far, and the entire community is excited to finish strong! 💪
Thank you to Senator Amy Galey, Representative Stephen Ross, and Representative Dennis Riddell for visiting Broadview Middle, Alexander Wilson Elementary, and Eastern Alamance High as part of Bring Your Legislature to School Day. Dr. Harrison, principals, and other ABSS staff accompanied them along their tour across the campuses.
During their visits, they had the opportunity to see classrooms in action, interact with teachers and students, ask and answer questions, and observe some of the great moments happening in our schools every day. Representative Ross even had an extra treat at Alexander Wilson, as his visit coincided with the school's Field Day festivities! Visits like these allow our elected officials to gain valuable insights into the daily operations, successes, and challenges faced by our schools. We appreciate their time and commitment to public education!
