Opportunities to Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved at your alma mater, Alcott. You can
attend one of our fundraising events, donate items featured on our wish
list, share your talents or simply share your memories through this
website. We would be thrilled to be in contact with you again!

Alcott has several annual fundraising events that range from
purchasing yummy caramel apples to attending our annual fall Homecoming
or spring Color Our World silent auction events. The latest details for
these and other fundraisers can be found on our school website, www.alcottschool.net.

• Homecoming – This festive family event is held each fall on
  the Alcott school grounds. Games, face painting, crafts, food,
  cheerleading and football clinics are just some of the fun. The outside
  fun then transitions indoors for the school homecoming dance.

• Color Our World Silent Auction – Each spring the Alcott
  community gathers for an evening of good company, tasty food and an
  outstanding array of items to bid for or purchase. We also have an
  online portion for this event so everyone, including YOU, can join in
  the fun!

There are also opportunities to volunteer in the school. Tutoring,
library, gardening or using your handy skills for various improvements
are just some of the ways to get involved. If you have something else
in mind to contribute to the school, let us know and we can find a way
to work together. Welcome back!
