Dear Alderwood Families,

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve exceeded our goal and raised an amazing $47,277 for the PTA Fall Pledge! This milestone is a historic achievement, and we couldn’t have done it without your unwavering support and dedication to our school community.

Now, it’s time to celebrate our strength and unity! We are thrilled to invite you to our Family Picnic, where we’ll come together to enjoy the success of this amazing accomplishment. This event is a reflection of what we can achieve when we work together, and we look forward to celebrating with all of you.

Your donations are essential to enhancing our school programs, funding vital resources, and creating enriching experiences for our students. From field trips to in-school assemblies, your contributions help us provide the opportunities that support our children’s growth and learning. We truly appreciate each and every one of you for stepping up and making a difference. Your support reflects the strong community spirit that makes Alderwood such a special place for our children to thrive.


A heartfelt thank you goes out to Taruna Joshi and Sayra Perez, our amazing co-chairs for Family Fun Night. Their hard work, dedication, and creativity transformed this event into a truly memorable experience for everyone involved. We are so grateful for all the volunteers who helped make Trunk or Treat a huge success. Remember, all our events are 100% volunteer-based, and we can’t thank our volunteers enough for their time and dedication in creating such amazing experiences for our community.


A special thank you goes to Steve Tsai for his outstanding leadership in organizing the Tournament of Champions. We are so grateful for his efforts and dedication. 

We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Kevin Javid, Durgesh Kumar Mishra, and Atul Kadam for volunteering their time and coaching the Volley Fest teams. Their commitment and support helped our students excel, and we are incredibly proud of our young athletes who represented our school and made it to the semifinals! Your teamwork and spirit are an inspiration to us all.

Thank you all once again for your continued support and generosity. Together, we are building a brighter future for our kids!


Warm regards,


Mahsheed Hosseini
