Alcott Book Fair : In addition to class visits, the Book Fair will also be open at dismissal on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for parents who wish to visit with their students. Questions about when your child will attend and how the Book Fair works? Download the Book Fair FAQ or view the class visit list. Be sure to look for your teacher’s Wish Basket. If you purchase a "wish" book to donate to the classroom, please remember to fill out a book plate sticker before you check out.
Exciting Art Room News: Thanks to a generous grant from the Concord Education Fund, we have just received a shipment of new, reusable, environmentally-friendly Art Bags! We will use these bags to take home art portfolios and sculptures this year. When your child comes home with one of these bags, please make sure to send it right back to school, so that we can reuse the bags all year long. Kids can drop them off in the Art Room any time.
Screenagers: CCHS Parents Association presents Screenagers NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience. On October 24 at 7:00-9:00pm in the CCHS Auditorium, the CCHS Parents Association will be hosting the movie screening of the follow-up documentary to SCREENAGERS: Growing Up In The Digital Age (www.screenagersmovie.com). This film examines the science behind teen's emotional challenges, the interplay of social media, and most importantly, what can be done in our schools and homes to help them build crucial skills to navigate stress, anxiety, and depression in our digital age. A post-movie discussion and Q&A will be held by LookUp.live. FREE tickets are available, click here to reserve yours.
Halloween Costume Donations: Don't forget to dig out those previously used Halloween Costumes and donate them to Concord Family Network! There is one week left in CFN's Costume Drive, so please send in gently used costumes for children ages 1-10 and place them in the donation box in the main school hallway, or drop them off at the Concord Rec Hunt building on Stow St. CFN will use the costumes for their annual Halloween Party and Costume Swap & Sale with part of the proceeds going to First Connections to support new mothers and families.
