NFL FLAG Football is a recreational, non-contact league for students in grades 1–4. Each Saturday includes 15 minutes of warm-up and practice followed by a one-hour, 5-on-5 game, with an emphasis on equitable playing time for every player.

Players receive an official NFL FLAG jersey and flag belt to keep, and games include hired referees with scores and standings posted weekly.

Games are Saturdays at Alexandria High School from September 12–October 10.

Little ones. Big connections.

Fall ECFE classes begin the week of August 31, and there are still plenty of opportunities to find a class that works for you and your little one!

From classes for 2- and 3-year-olds and mixed-age families to babies, prenatal education, and parent connection, ECFE is a chance to play, learn, meet other families, and enjoy dedicated time together.

A few opportunities to check out this fall:

• NEW Wednesday Stay & Play for Babies
A relaxed hour designed especially for our littlest learners and their caregivers.

• NEW Thursday evening Mixed Age option
A 4:00–5:30 PM class that gives families another way to fit ECFE into their schedules.

• Tuesday Coffee Connection
A parent favorite for a reason! It’s relaxed, flexible, social, and includes just the right amount of learning about child development along the way. Tuesday is the only Coffee Connection with openings remaining.

There are also several openings in our popular 2’s & 3’s classes, with options throughout the week.

If you’ve been thinking about trying ECFE, this is a great time to find the class that fits your family. Explore all of the fall options and register through the link below!

Find your sound. Find your people.

Music is about so much more than learning notes. It's about building confidence, making friendships, and becoming part of a team that creates something amazing together.

Whether your child is in Beginning Band or Beginning Orchestra, these summer camps are a great opportunity to sharpen their skills before the school year begins. Students will receive instruction from Alexandria music educators while building confidence on their instrument in a fun, encouraging environment.
Summer Music Camps help students stay connected with their instrument, prepare for the upcoming school year, and continue developing the skills they'll use throughout their musical journey. Best of all, they'll be making music alongside friends who share the same passion.

If your child is ready to grow as a musician while having fun this summer, you'll find all the details through the links below.
