ANNUAL APPEAL: SHOW YOUR LOVE for Alcott this Valentine’s Day by contributing to our annual appeal ! The PTG will spend over $135 per student this year to provide valuable enhancements to their school experience. Our parent volunteers put in countless hours to provide fundraising events throughout the year that provide the majority of our funds. The appeal campaign supplements those efforts with a goal to raise $15,000 from our community. We are asking you to help us achieve our target through your gift today! Donate here via Paypal or credit card. You can also send cash or a check (payable to “Alcott PTG” with “annual appeal” in memo) back to school with your child in a sealed envelope. 🖤Donate $100 or more and get an Alcott Magnet and Alcott Owl Sticker! 🖤
