NOVEMBER FAMILY FRIDAY:
SPECIAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY DAY
FRI, NOV 3, 8:35-9:15 am
We encourage you to invite a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or special family friend to share in the joy of participating in your child's classroom from 8:35-9:15 am (our usual time for Family Friday). We hope this day will be a great opportunity for your child to share a small piece of their school experience with someone close to them. We ask that only one (maximum 2) visitors per child attend, so that there's enough room for everyone's special friends and family. We are looking forward to welcoming your child's special family and friends to PS 154!
NEW FAMILY HAPPY HOUR!
TUES, NOV 7, 6-9 PM at THE DOUBLE WINDSOR

Buy drink tickets for $6 each, at The Double Windsor on Prospect Park West, and half the proceeds go to the PTA of PS 154. Contact PTA Membership Manager Teri Roth with questions.
