The Town of Alderson is rooted deep in tradition and many of these traditions are intertwined with the school. One very special tradition is the selection of the "Queen of Lights" every year at Christmas. This young lady starts the magic of the Christmas season in Alderson by waving her wand to start the parade. What use to be an honor bestowed to a high school student, is now given to a 5th grade girl at Alderson Elementary. The girls in 5th grade are given the opportunity to write an essay about why they want to be the "Queen of Lights". This year, we brought the crowning ceremony to the school and the Queen was crowned in front of her peers. Congrats to Spencer, the 2025 Queen of Lights. We are thankful for the support we receive from the Town of Alderson and the partnership with this community! #AldersonElementary #TownPartnership #CommunityMatters

Alderson Kindergarten has gone a little "batty"! 🦇
The students dove in and celebrated Bat Day, and what a spook-tacular time they had! They learned that bats aren’t scary at all — they’re fascinating creatures that help our environment by eating bugs and pollinating plants.
It was a day full of learning, laughter, and discovery. Now we all know that bats are not spooky—they’re super! #AldersonElementary #InspiredLearning
