Alaiedon Elementary holds flag raising ceremony as a National Blue Ribbon School
Last fall, it was announced that Alaiedon Elementary, one of Mason Public Schools’ exemplary elementary schools, was named a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School (NBRS).
The award from the U.S. Department of Education is based on a school’s success in maintaining high academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. This prestigious award has been given to Alaiedon Elementary for consistently maintaining high M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress) scores for all grades and being a top performing school in the State of Michigan.
In October, the District held a celebration and ceremonial ribbon cutting with the community and District leadership. Since then, the U.S. Department of Education has given Alaiedon a flag to fly above the building in perpetuity. Please join us as we raise the flag for the first time above Alaiedon Elementary.

WHEN: Tuesday, May 31, 2:45 p.m.
WHERE: Alaiedon Elementary, 1723 Okemos Road, Mason, MI 48854
