This year the Alcott Variety Show will showcase on November 20, 2025! This is a change from previous years, where our show was held in the late spring.
For those of you who may not know, the Alcott School Variety Show is a family-friendly evening that showcases the awesome talents of our Alcott students (and sometimes teachers!) This is meant to be a fun, supportive night, with no competition involved. Talents can be performing an instrument, doing stand-up comedy, performing a skit, dancing, or whatever you can think of! Participation details can be found HERE.
Location: Craft Food Halls Revolution Hall - Lexington, MA - Time: 6 pm

Please note some important information about this event:
The walking train is ONE WAY ONLY to school!
Please make the necessary arrangements with the school if this affects your children's dismissal process.
This is NOT a drop off event. Parents are asked to either participate in the walking train with their child, or wait until the group has departed the library lawn before leaving. Please coordinate with another adult if you are unable to accompany your child(ren).
If you would like to volunteer to help manage the hot chocolate tables, please use this sign up. Any help is greatly appreciated!
