Alcott Walk & Talk
Join fellow Alcott parents and caregivers for our first monthly community walk. Meet at the front entrance after drop-off, enjoy complimentary coffee or tea from the Alcott PTG, and take a leisurely stroll around town. It’s a relaxed chance to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and strengthen the community that makes Alcott special. All caregivers are welcome, with younger siblings in strollers. No RSVP needed—just come along. Watch for next month’s walk!
Multicultural Day
Many Cultures, One Community! Join us for a special event celebrating the many cultures, traditions, foods, and stories that make our Alcott community so unique! Families are invited to share a favorite cultural dish and the story behind it, or submit a song that represents their culture for our “Music Without Borders” playlist. We are also looking for volunteers to help make this special evening a success! Unity • Understanding • Respect
Sign up to participate and help us celebrate the beautiful diversity of our Alcott community!
