Alamo Education Fund
Don’t forget...show your teacher appreciation on October 13th at materials pickup.
Kinder families: We realize this isn’t a pick up for you, but Kinder teachers will still have a bag. Feel free to drop off a token of appreciation anytime between 1-5 pm.
Details:
At the materials pickup on October 13th, we will give students a chance to connect with their teachers and an opportunity to say thank you. Each classroom, PE, and music/instrumental (Raaum and Angle), and science teacher will have a black reusable bag where students can leave a thank you card, drawing, craft, or anything else they can imagine. These bags provide students the chance to create something to be given directly to their teachers. Our teachers are working endlessly to make distance learning possible, and we hope our students will use this as a fun way to connect with them.

Hello Alamo Families!
Thank you to all who donated a coat to our Warm Coat Drive for Dover Elementary! Your kindness and generosity are so appreciated- we have collected nearly 80 coats so far. Help us reach our goal of 200 coats! Today, October 13th, will be another great opportunity to drop off your coat donations during materials pick up on distribution day. Gently worn and washed coats and rain boots are being accepted through October 16th in bins by the office. Any and all sizes are needed. Thank you, Bar Mintze, for organizing this drive, and please, help us give the gift of warmth! #Alamokindness
