Make a difference and become a Friends of Alcott (FOA) Board Member!  FOA is a non-profit organization consisting of parents, faculty, staff and community members.  Throughout the year, FOA sponsors fundraising events to benefit the school and students. 

 FOA works closely with the Principal and LSC who determine the funding needs for each school year.  FOA then gets busy creating and running fundraising activities to meet the funding goals.    

 Each FOA board member is expected to lead (2) of the many fundraising activities, community building events or committees.  These leadership opportunities include, but are not limited to the following:

Pledge Drive, Spring Benefit, Field Day, International Day, Room Parent Coordinators, Alcott Community events including School Dances, Dine with Alcott, Bingo Night, and Fall Fest, Local Business Engagement, Partnerships,  and Grants 

 The FOA board currently consists of 13 directors.  The President and Treasurer serve a two-year term which is staggered so that both are not elected in the same year.  All other non-officer board members serve a one-year term from June to June the following year.  Board members are elected by the Alcott community.  The Executive Committee (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) are then elected by the elected directors.  

If you are interested in running for FOA, please complete the questions below and submit this Nomination Form no later than Monday, May 6th. Your responses will be posted for all to review.

Ballots will go out community-wide electronically on Friday, May 10th and are due Friday, May 17th.  The new board will be announced the week of May 20th.

Thank you for your interest and good luck!  If you have any questions, contact Suzanne L’Erario, FOA Secretary at alcottvolunteers@gmail.com
