McAlister Intermediate School was a flurry of activity Tuesday and Wednesday night during the Fall Open House and Scholastic Book Fair.
Families came armed with trash bags of donations for the Fall Clothing Drive.
Old students came back to say hello to favorite teachers. New students dragged parents about the classrooms to show off their desks and colorful projects on walls.
In the gymnasium, books shelves decorated the room and children wandered about gathering books and fun pencils and posters of famous boy bands. Gracious parent volunteers checked out families before they walked out of the school into the crisp night air.
Additional upcoming events at McAlister include:
