Message from the PTG President
During December the PTG will be celebrating the diversity of our Alcott families by participating in a variety of community events. We hope that by sharing in these experiences we will grow our sense of community and connection, all while having fun! If your family would like to invite the Alcott community to share in one of your cultural or religious celebrations please reach out to me directly. We hope to offer these opportunities throughout the year. On December 7, we will march as a group in the town tree lighting parade and on December 17 we will enjoy the town's Chanukah celebration. I hope to see lots of Alcott families at both!
Thanks! Abby Flanagan, PTG President (mom to Michael 2nd grade, Cora 1st grade, William pre-K)
