School Reviews
| 4 I absolutely loved Alexandria Elementary-I attended from 1969 to 1973. I was in drama/glee. I was a milk and hallway safety monitor. I read nearly every book in the Library. I played all sports all year. My mother (Joy) helped run the annual carnival. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Wayne Smith, Ph.D. |
