Alcott Announcements
President's Message
It may have felt more like March than May, but that didn’t stop Alcott parents from enjoying a great Parent Social on Saturday night. Thank you to Adam and Ariel Winn for graciously hosting, and to Grace Giles for her outstanding work supporting fundraising and keeping our community informed.
A special shoutout to fundraising chairs Becky Reddington and Ally Flynn and their auction committee, who broke all previous auction records and raised an incredible $15,321 for our school. Every dollar will directly enhance the experience of our students and teachers. Thank you for your generosity and support.
If you’d like to keep the momentum going, join us this Saturday at the Concord Pride Parade. We’d love to have a strong Alcott presence as we support our LGBTQIA+ families, friends, and neighbors.
Thanks, Abby Flanagan, PTG President

Thank You, Alcott Community!
What an incredible auction! Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of the Alcott community, this year’s Silent Auction raised more than double last year’s total, far exceeding our fundraising goals.
These funds will directly support our classrooms and school programs, benefiting students and teachers throughout Alcott. Thank you to everyone who donated, bid, volunteered, and helped spread the word. This record-breaking success reflects the strength and spirit of our amazing community.
With gratitude, The Alcott Elementary Silent Auction Committee and Allison Flynn and Rebecca Redington, Co-Fundraising Chairs

Celebrate Our Retirees, Mrs. Chatlosh + Mrs. Desmond!
After many years of dedication and hard work, two of our beloved kindergarten teachers - Mrs. Chatlosh and Mrs. Desmond - will be retiring at the end of this school year. The PTG would love your help in celebrating their incredible impact and wishing them well in their next chapter! Here's how:
Give cards, notes, or student artwork! There are drop boxes in the main office.
Contribute to a school-wide retirement gift! Any amount is appreciated, and participation is entirely optional.
Thank you for helping us recognize and honor Mrs. Chatlosh and Mrs. Desmond for all they have given to Alcott over the years!
