Alderwood PTA

🎓✨ Full Circle Moment ✨🎓

Today, Alderwood welcomed back some very special visitors.

As part of our Senior Send-Off tradition, graduating seniors from across Irvine returned to the place where their educational journey began. Walking the halls of their former elementary school, they were greeted with cheers, smiles, high-fives, and plenty of memories along the way.

For our current Owls, it was a glimpse into the future. For our seniors, it was a chance to reflect on how far they’ve come.

From kindergarten classrooms to high school graduation caps, what an incredible journey.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you. Once an Owl, always an Owl. 🦉💙💛

🍕🎉 Hard work (and fundraising!) deserves a celebration!

Last week, Mrs. Leneker’s 5th grade class and Mrs. McClendon’s PK class enjoyed their Jogathon Pizza Party at the atrium as a reward for their amazing fundraising efforts this season! 🦉💙

From pizza and laughs to celebrating together as a class, these moments are made possible because of our incredible Alderwood community. Thank you to all the families who helped support Jogathon and our school programs this year!
