THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THE ALCOTT VACCINATION CLINICS A BIG SUCCESS!
Over the past two Wednesdays, over 1,400 students from the entire district received vaccinations at Alcott. Much appreciation is given to all who made the events possible, including the Concord-Carlisle school administrations, health departments, Concord Police Department, Concord Fire Department and the families and students who participated. See you on December 1st and December 13th for the next installments!
ALCOTT ONGOING ANNOUNCEMENTS
Get those TURKEY TROT pledges in!
The deadline for pledges is Monday, December 6th. Students can bring their pledges into their classroom teachers and they will be sent down to the office. You may also DONATE via PayPal or check (payable to "Alcott PTG," which will transfer all funds to the charities). For more information visit the site.
Let's beat our 2020 total of $1,200! All of our pledge donations will be processed and sent to our charitable recipients (Open Table and Concord Recreation Scholarship Fund). Go, Alcott!
Help fund our Staff Appreciation efforts in November!
The PTG's Staff Appreciation Team is getting ready to warm up a chilly morning later this month with coffee and treats for our teachers and staff (that includes our great crossing guards and bus drivers, too)! It's just one of the ways we're planning to celebrate their hard work and dedication throughout the year, and we need your help to make it happen. Did you know Staff Appreciation is one of the many efforts supported by your PTG Dues? If you haven't contributed yet, or would like to help even more, please take a moment to do so here: Donate to the Alcott PTG
While the pandemic may be shifting some of the ways we can say thank you, it has also shown how much our school staff does for our kids and our families. It may be harder to give our thanks in person, but let's be sure our staff know what they mean to us. Thanks for your support!
Interested in METCO Family Friends after-school play dates?
After a successful back to school event in Boston last month, we are getting ready to schedule a monthly 'late bus' for Boston students. What is that you ask? Once a month on a half day Wednesday, Boston students can stay and play with a Concord student and Concord parents bring the student back to Alcott to take a 3 PM bus back to Boston. It's a great way for kids and families to get to know each other better. Please take a minute to respond to this survey and let us know if you'd like to participate. Exact Wednesday dates TBD.

The Concord Middle School Coats for Kids Club needs your help! Their annual Anton’s Cleaners Coats for Kids drive is NOW UNDERWAY! The goal this year is to collect 300 coats! Please consider donating any gently-used coats in good condition by sending them to Alcott with your child. The drop-off box is next to the office. We accept any size coat, from infant snowsuits to oversized adult, but please do not donate clothing other than winter coats – no sweatshirts, raincoats, vests, scarves, hats, gloves, mittens or snow pants. The drive runs until January 8th, 2022. If you get a new coat for the winter, consider donating your old coat to Coats for Kids. Thank you very much for your generosity!
