DIVERSE LEARNER COMMITTEE FUNDRAISER FOR SCHOOLS IN NEED

The Diverse Learner Committee has had a successful Community Connections Week and now are selling drawstring backpacks to fund supplies for Diverse Learner classrooms and projects at local CPS schools in need through Donors Choose Projects. Last year, we raised $1458! Funds have been used to purchase items such as sensory tools, fidgets, mini timers, breathing boards, a color printer, wobble chairs and wobble cushions for high-need schools.

FUNDRAISING FOR ALCOTT'S PROPOSED MAKERSPACE!

This year, our Online Auction and Spring Benefit brought in enough money to BEGIN BUILDING OUR NEW 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!! 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!
