A Message from the PTG President
With three fantastic PTG events over the past two weeks, it’s been wonderful to see so many Alcott families coming together. A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers—Erika Santoro and Shannon Winn (Book Fair), Sam Booth and Melita Constable (Math Night), and Alli Flynn and Becky Reddington (Fundraising/Pottery Party).You might notice these efforts were all team-driven—something we’d love to see more of! In next week’s Owl, we’ll share open roles for the 2026-27 PTG board and encourage more dynamic duos to get involved.
As always, feel free to reach out with questions, ideas, or just to say hello.
Thanks! Abby Flanagan, PTG President
(Michael, 2nd grade; Cora, 1st grade)
