2019 Winter Staff Appreciation Luncheon: Please sign up here. The bi-annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon is Tuesday, January 29, 2019 at 12:30 pm in the Alcott School cafeteria. Please help out by contributing a food item whether it be a salad, entrée, or dessert (you CAN use nuts). Teacher favorites and other meal suggestions have been made on the signup sheet, but by no means are you limited to those items. We know people are very busy, so please consider making a FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION if you don't have time to make/bring a food item for the luncheon. Just drop off the contribution in the Staff Appreciation box in the teachers’ mailbox room to the right of the office or send in an envelope to school with your child marked "Teacher Appreciation Luncheon." Make checks payable to Alcott PTG. We would like to have contributions by Tuesday, January 22, 2019. If you miss the deadline, not to worry, we will not turn away donations received after that date. Please consider volunteering to help with CLEANUP after the luncheon. Children are welcome to join you. We are always short volunteers, so if we can get several volunteers it will go quickly. You may drop off your food items in the cafeteria after 9 a.m. and before 12:00 p.m. on the day of the luncheon, Tuesday, January 29, 2019. We do not have use of ovens, so any food that needs to be served warm should be dropped off closer to 12:00 p.m. in cafeteria. Please help us show our beloved Alcott Staff how much we appreciate them and all they do! If you have further questions, please email at Jennifer.soillis@comcast.net. Thank you! Jennifer Soillis & Angela Lipson - The Staff Appreciation Co-Chairs
