Dear Alderwood Families!


We hope you had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving break! As we approach the end of the year, we have a few exciting events that we’d love for you to be a part of:

Alderwood Talent Show

If your child loves to perform, the Alderwood Talent Show is just around the corner! This is a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their talents whether it’s singing, dancing, playing instruments, acting, or any other performance. If your child would like to participate, please be sure to check out the link below for more details and registration information. 

Alderwood Talent Show 2025

We can’t wait to see all the amazing talent from our students!

Holiday Lunch for Our Teachers & Admin Team

On behalf of all Alderwood families, the PTA will serve a holiday lunch for our amazing teachers and admin team on December 18. If you’d like to help us make this special event possible, please consider making a donation using this link: Teacher & Staff Appreciation Donation.

Your contribution allows the PTA to create a memorable and appreciated event for the entire Alderwood team, who works so hard to support our students daily.

We are excited about these upcoming events and encourage you and your students to get involved. Thank you for your continued support together, we make Alderwood a wonderful place for our kids to learn and grow.


Warm regards,


Mahsheed Hosseini

The Holiday Boutique is Back – A Perfect Opportunity for Your Student!

The Holiday Boutique returns this December, running from December 9th to 13th.  This special fundraiser for IPSF (Irvine Public Schools Foundation) gives students the opportunity to purchase unique gifts for family and friends while exercising a sense of independence and responsibility.

Each class, from Kindergarten to sixth grade, has a specific time slot during school hours to shop. Please watch for the schedule from your child's teacher. Students also have the opportunity to shop during recess.

Check your child's Thursday folder for the Holiday Boutique flyer for more details.  

We cannot run this special event without the help of parent volunteers. Please consider signing up using this link: Holiday Boutique Volunteer.

Whether they’re shopping for gifts or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, it’s a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit. We look forward to seeing them at the Holiday Boutique as they shop for a meaningful cause!
