"I feel that it's a real value to my kids, especially this year where schooling is remote. I really want to instill in them that it's important to be a part of your community and school is a great way to do that. I want to model for them that I think that education is important, that being an active participant in their community is important, and the PTSA is a great way for them to see that. I value their education, I value public education, and I value participation in education."

"I have been part of the school community for the last 6 years and I am super impressed to see how much Alcott PTSA contributes to the well-being of my children at school. Being personally part of the PTSA Committee in the past has introduced me to a set of amazing parents who spend countless hours and energy on community building events, enrichment programs and activities, and all the myriad little things that make our children’s education and experience better at school. I join and support the Alcott PTSA to show my immense appreciation for all their hard work and because I strongly believe that their contributions help enrich my child’s life."
