Hi Everyone,
Our Parents Night is coming up!! The posters and invites will be going up and out next week but I wanted to give you a little more notice. This years theme is "Studio 154". It will be on Monday November 2 at Highbar in NYC from 6 9 again the day before Election Day so no school the next day. There will be open bar , h'ors douevres , raffles, and lots of dancing. It is an adult only event that is open to all friends and family. So dust off your Capezios and jumpsuits and start practicing your Hustle!

AND BOOK THE BABYSITTER NOW!

If you can't make it consider donating to our fund that will provide tickets to
teachers and staff!

Thanks for your support.
See you there,

Nicole Bilu

Dear Parents,

Please help support the PS 154 Fall Clothing Drive!

On Friday, October 16 from 3 4:30 at the International Food Fair, we will be selling good condition children's clothing, Halloween costumes, and winter wear for 1 to 5dollars. We will also be collecting unsellable clothing and textiles of any sizes to donate to an organization called Wearable Collection(http://wearablecollections.com/). Wearable Collections will help reusable items get to people who need them and shred the rest for insulation and other environmental projects. They will provide the school with a small sum of money for each pound of clothing we collect. Usable adult and children’s sneakers will be sent to our sister schools in Africa.

Here is how you can help:

Drop off your sellable children’s items in the PTA office from Tuesday, October 13th to Thursday, October 15th. It would be great to have the bags sorted and labeled by size.

You can also bring your non sellable adult and other items to school on Friday, October 16th or directly to the International Food Fair. Label and separate your sellable and non sellable items!

Volunteer to help! On Friday, October 16th, we need volunteers to help organize the clothes to sell during the school day, help set up the sale from 2 to 3, run the sale from 3-4:30, and help load up the wearable collections truck and clean up from 4:30 to 5. Please contact Sarah Goodman at saregood1@gmail.com if you are available to help.

Thanks,
Deb
