Find your voice with Almond Singers, our after-school singing program for grades 1-6! Students meet weekly throughout the school year to learn songs, build confidence, and develop their musicality in a fun, supportive environment.

Almond Singers perform two concerts each year—one in winter and one in spring—and sometimes share their talents at community events around Los Altos. It's a wonderful way for students to explore music, perform on stage, and make new friends! Registration information is sent out by the second week of school.

Ready, set, READ! Read-a-thon is a three-week celebration of reading that combines a love of books with fundraising for our school.

How It Works: Students read as much as they can over three weeks, and every minute counts! Whether it's chapter books, picture books, audiobooks, or even reading aloud to younger siblings—it all adds up. Parents log reading minutes at home, and teachers track classroom reading time too.

Prizes & Recognition: We celebrate our readers! Students can pick up stickers in the library to celebrate reading milestones. Individual students and classes with the most minutes read earn prizes and recognition. It's a fun way to motivate kids to dive into great stories while building strong reading habits.

Support Our School: As students log their progress, families can share updates and invite relatives and friends to support their reader with donations to the PTA. Every donation helps fund programs and resources that benefit all Almond students throughout the year. Students are also able to spend a portion of donations in the read-a-thon store!

Get ready to read, log your minutes, and help make this our best Read-a-thon yet!

Think you've got what it takes to be a spelling champion? 4th-6th Graders can sign up to compete in the Almond Spelling Bee, new for 2025-26 School Year! Students will face off in this classic academic competition, spelling words aloud in front of judges and an audience.

How It Works:

What's at Stake:

• Up to 10 top finishers will represent Almond at the LASD Spelling Bee

• The top 2 winners from District advance to the County Spelling Bee

It's our chance to say a heartfelt "thank you" to the people who give so much to our kids every day.
