The Alcott Lost & Found is here to help! Are you wondering where your student's jacket/water bottle/hoodie/lunch box is? It MIGHT be in the Alcott Lost & Found (located in the cafeteria hallway), which students can check during the school day. While parents/guardians are still NOT allowed into the main school hallways, we will be bringing the Lost & Found items to the Alcott Gazebo on Wednesday, January 5th during the school day. Please come by and take a look; you might be surprised to FIND your LOST item! Any questions or requests can be sent to alcottlostandfound@gmail.com.
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!
