ALCOTT NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
5th Grade Families! Help the Concord Middle School PTG “Show the Love” Next Year: The Concord Middle School has an amazing team of employees who go above and beyond for our kids all year long. The CMS PTG’s staff appreciation committee is a fun group of volunteers who make sure that every teacher and staff member knows that they are seen and valued.
To keep this important work going, the 2021-2022 committee needs a few more members and either a chairperson or two “co-chairs.” Please join us! The chairperson organizes committee meetings, offers guidance to project teams and keeps the PTG board of directors informed. If you’d like to learn more about this or other CMS PTG volunteer opportunities, please contact Deb Antonangeli at deb.antonangeli@gmail.com or Kristin Martines at klmartines@comcast.net.
Reminders from Mrs. O'Rourke:
Please return library books before June 4th.
Sign up for the Summer Reading Program at the Concord Free Public Library.
Keep reading on Sora.

IN THE COMMUNITY
June Journeys: The Concord Free Public Library is celebrating June Journeys with Communities Organizing Against Racism (COAR) by sharing a StoryWalk on the Main Library lawn. The StoryWalk features Voice of Freedom: Fannie Lou Hamer, Spirit of the Civil Rights Movement by Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Ekua Holmes. Featuring stunning mixed-media art and stirring poems, Voice of Freedom celebrates civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer's life with a message of hope, determination, and strength. The book won the 2016 Caldecott Honor award as well as the 2016 Robert F. Sibert Honor.
Bike-to-School Concord is pleased to announce that we’ve been awarded the state-wide Safe Routes to School (SRTS) “Community Collaboration” award. Thank you for the support and collaboration of our school district, PE Teachers, students, parents, Concord Police, and volunteers. Keep up the great work in Biking, Walking & Rolling to school!
