FUNDRAISING GOALS: ALCOTT'S PROPOSED MAKERSPACE!

This year, funds from our $50,000 Spring Benefit AND Online Auction goal will support us in building a MAKERSPACE at Alcott! 

What is a Makerspace?  The Alcott Makerspace will be a place where students can come together to explore and create using a variety of low tech and high-tech materials.  This is a place where students will be able to extend their learning in the content areas through problem solving and creation!

On behalf of the Spring Benefit Committee and FOA we want to thank YOU for all of your support. Whether you bought a ticket, donated an item or buy-in party, hyped the event to a friend, or purchased a silent auction item, this event couldn't be possible without your support!​

FALL PLEDGE DRIVE

We made it to our goal of $300,000!! Thank you for funding important Alcott programs like Primary Science, Music, Teacher Wish Lists, 8th Grade Field Trip, Dances, Social Events and more! If you didn't get the chance but would still like to donate, there are many more programs on Principal Karrel's list that she'd love to have funded!
