Annual Appeal- Thank you!
Thank you for the incredible generosity of our community! During the Month of Giving, we raised $13,287.92 for the Alcott Annual Appeal, with 93 families contributing. Your support funds the events, resources, and experiences that make our school special—from beloved community gatherings and enrichment programs to essential supplies and classroom materials that help every child thrive. Though the Month of Giving has ended, donations are welcome year-round. With 405 students across 298 families, every contribution helps sustain traditions and create new opportunities. To donate: mail a check to Alcott (payable to “Alcott PTG”) or give online at alcottptg.org/annual-appeal-1.

Message from the PTG President
Such fun to see so many Alcott families join us for the tree lighting parade on Sunday and special thanks to Rebecca Muse-Orlinoff for our fabulous new parade banner!
Two quick reminders this week: 1. The lost and found at Alcott is overflowing and all items not claimed by December 23 will be donated. 2. When you stop by Alcott to search the lost and found, please check in with the front office and see if your CORI is up to date. Your CORI must be renewed every 3 years and you must complete a CORI specific to Alcott. If it is not up to date you will not be allowed to volunteer. No exceptions.
Thanks! Abby Flanagan
