Message from the President

It was wonderful to see so many new faces at our PTG Open Meeting last week! Katie Carr gave a wonderful presentation about our new literacy curriculum to a packed Alcott library (with lots of folks joining us via Zoom as well). Katie has made her presentation available here. We also broke into discussion groups to talk about how the PTG can better serve the Alcott community. I'm grateful for everyone who gave such actionable feedback.

The Owl will not be sent next week because of the holiday so wishing all of you who celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Donate

The Annual Appeal focuses on raising money needed for the Alcott PTG to provide programs for our children and the Alcott faculty & staff, which are 100% funded by your generous donations!
