Alcott Fall Fest Volunteers: The Alcott Fall Fest needs many volunteers before and during the event - will you help? This is a great way to meet other parents while also supporting our school community. The Fall Fest is Alcott's primary annual fundraiser and supports children's programs and Alcott activities all year long. Fall Fest includes a book fair, food, fun, games, crafts, entertainment, and the ever-popular raffle baskets! This year's event is at Alcott on Saturday October 19th from 1-4 pm with set up from 10-noon and clean up from 4-6 pm.
Help is needed in many areas including raffle ticket sales, food sales, games, crafts, set up and clean up. If an hour is too long, consider sharing a sign up spot with a spouse or a friend. Any time is appreciated! We know that many families have busy Saturday schedules with sports and family activities, but we hope that you will find some time before or after other activities to join us that day. Many students attend in their sport uniforms before or after games.
