- Also, Alex Sanger Elementary is hosting a parents education meeting Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. that’s open to all. “We all read a ton of parenting books when we are pregnant and then when the kids start school we get so wrapped up in everything that keeping up our parenting skills gets put on the back burner,” a press release explained. It will be in the Alex Sanger cafeteria. Children are welcome, but bring quiet activities to keep them busy.
