Yearbooks are on sale now and we need your pics! Any Alamo families wishing to contribute to yearbook picture taking this year can snap pics at every Alamo School event, and share them via HJeshare.com, School Code AlamoYB. Please remember to include event names and a brief description so our yearbook chair can organize them appropriately. The last day to purchase yearbooks is April 16. If you still need to purchase a 2021/22 Yearbook, you can do so at yearbookordercenter.com, School Code 12361.
For 5th grade families, you can purchase a personalized message with pics to your graduating 5th grader for an additional $25. Please email nicolerocca@gmail.com or ajitpalp@gmail.com with any questions.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We need your help at lunchtime! Alamo needs your help in making sure our kids are having a fun, friendly, and well-supervised lunch recess. Volunteering for yard duty is a great way for your child to see you helping out at school, and a great way for you to see them in their element. Please consider giving less than an hour of your day by signing up here.
Join the Alamo School PTA!! We are actively looking for volunteers for the 2022-23 school year. With school normalizing, we have so many fun things planned for our school but we will not be able to do them without volunteer support. Please email dianafinster@gmail.com if interested. Moms, Dads and all Caregivers welcome!

Silent Auction Thank You: A huge amount of appreciation to our amazing parent and staff volunteers who worked so hard to prepare the online silent auction! Please join me in thanking our Online Silent Auction Chair: Dina Warshavsky, and her team Nayela Keen, Bar Mizne, and Daniel Kopelovich. Thank you also to our parent volunteers who run our marketing campaigns: Rachel Miegel, Kelly Bowes, Nina Voss, Bar Mizne and Bridget Williams! Kudos to our teacher rep, Andrea Fettig for helping to organize and schedule Teacher for a Day, and of course, all of our staff members offering these priceless opportunities for our students.
We are proud to report that, together, we exceeded our goal of $12,500!. All funds raised will go toward maintaining the Alamo Education Fund’s critical programs: music, art, paraeducators, reading instructional assistants, and social-emotional learning. We couldn’t have done this without our extraordinarily engaged community of parents, family members, teachers, administration, alumni, neighbors, volunteers and local businesses.
*Be sure to come to room 301 after school 12:50-1:30 on Wednesday, March 23rd to pick up any items won from the silent auction!
If you missed out on the online silent auction and would like to make a direct donation, click here, or keep a lookout for our opportunities to donate and bid at “Bocce, Bubbles and BBQ” on May 21st! Tickets will go on sale when we return from Spring Break.
Thinkworks Spring Session: Registration opens Wednesday, March 23rd, for our final ThinkWorks session of this school year! We will be offering multiple classes that are new to Alamo students. Keep an eye on your email for calendar and registration information.
