Alcott Announcements

President's Message

The kids had their fun at field day this week and now it's the parents' turn! I hope you'll all join us at the parent social this Saturday evening. It's a great chance to catch up with friends while supporting all of the work the PTG does to make Alcott a special place for students and teachers. If you can't make the social you can still support the PTG by bidding online on some of the great auction items our fundraising team has gathered together this year. Bid early, bid often, and see you Saturday!

A Note From the Library

May 29th will be the last day for book checkout. Please return all checked-out materials to the library by June 5th. If you are unable to find any items, please replace or send in $ or a check payable to "Alcott Lost Book Fund" so that we may replace the items.

The Library Book Swap will run from June 1st - June 12th. During class library time, students can exchange 1-3 books from home (elementary school age-appropriate and in gently used condition) that they no longer want for books that other students have swapped. 

Thank you for supporting the Alcott Library.  -Kerry O'Rourke
