Education Fund
It’s another busy week at Alamo School with end of year activities including Open House/KCA, Spring concerts and class plays, plus Bocce, Bubbles and BBQ on Saturday! ***Spring music concerts are only possible because of YOUR generous donations to the Ed Fund. We are so lucky to have Mrs. Raaum, Mrs. Angle and the music program at our school!***
Kids Create Art: All Alamo student masterpieces will be displayed in the MPR between 5:30-7:30 PM this Thursday, May 19th. Please note that Open House in the classrooms is from 6:00-7:00 PM, so plan your time accordingly. These keepsakes will be on sale for a suggested donation of $40/each to benefit the art program funded by the Ed Fund. For express check out, please consider pre-purchasing your student's artwork here and we will have it ready for you to pick up. If you are unable to attend, we will arrange pick up at another time. SEE FLYER BELOW.
Happy Bocce Week, Alamo Families! We are looking forward to our largest in-person Ed Fund event on Saturday! We realize some families are unable to attend due to other commitments, however, you can still contribute to our fundraising efforts. Pledge an amount towards our Fund-a-Need for technology equipment updates or science lab materials here and contribute towards a teacher ticket here. For those of you who will attend, we are so excited to see your smiling faces on Saturday! If you would like to purchase a ONE-WAY ticket back from Blackhawk, those are available here.
We are still in need of a few volunteers to help with set-up and various tasks. Take a look at this signup genius and sign up where you can. Any and all help is appreciated. Huge kudos go out to Echo Hamilton and her team: Brooke Gardner, Kristine Worthley, Kelly Bowes, Joann Yang, and Nina Voss for their time and efforts planning this fundraiser!
Dine and Donate-MYO Frozen Yogurt: The final restaurant giveback of the year will be held at MYO Frozen Yogurt in Alamo this Thursday, May 19th. Treat your student(s) before or after Open House with a frozen yogurt to celebrate this school year. Be sure to show the flyer or just mention Alamo School to the cashier so 20% of your purchase will benefit the Ed Fund. MYO is located in Alamo next to ACE Hardware and is open daily from noon-9 pm. Thank you to Sara Welch for coordinating our restaurant giveback events this year! SEE FLYER BELOW
