Walk to School Day + Parent Coffee Morning
We need a few volunteers to help with giving out hot chocolate, both at the Main Library and at the Hunt Gym stop, as well as a volunteer to make sure all hot chocolate cups end up in the garbage bins provided before the kids enter school.
Meet at the main library lawn at 8:30am.
Parents are encouraged to stay after the walk to school for an informal parent coffee morning at Alcott. We will gather at the picnic tables in the play yard from 9-10am. Can't wait to see you all there!

Alcott First Annual Spelling Bee
The mission of the Alcott Spelling Bee is to create a joyful, inclusive, and confidence-building experience that celebrates language learning and teamwork. By participating in grade-level teams of 2–4 students, children support one another, take healthy risks, and grow as spellers in a low-pressure environment. The Spelling Bee is designed to spark curiosity, foster collaboration, and nurture a love of words — ensuring that every child feels valued, encouraged, and proud of their effort.
Bike to School Day
We need a couple volunteers to make sure this Safe Routes to School event is a success! We would love to have one parent stay behind at the departure point to make sure all students who are participating have left with the Bike Train and the safety officer escort, as well as another volunteer to help greet the bikers/walkers at Alcott and distribute some prizes.

Coffee with the Principal - Meet the Mental Health Team
From Naomi Krakow:
This Friday, January 23rd at 9:30, families are invited to join me for an informal coffee to meet the members of Alcott's mental health team. We will share an overview of the mental health supports we provide for students, from Tier 1 whole class instruction to small group targeted interventions to individual counseling. Over the last year, we have welcomed several new counselors to our school community so you may be interested in attending this coffee even if you are a veteran Alcott family!
This event will be hybrid. Please come in person or join on zoom using this link: https://concordps.zoom.us/j/95580522430?pwd=2ZNMxb8dauip0JztQ0gBOjWxMBqYBD.1&jst=2
