EARTH DAY: CLOTHING, SHOE, & TEXTILE DRIVE
APRIL 16-20 IN THE MMR
Textile waste adds significantly to the city’s waste stream -- and yet so much of it can be reused or recycled. During the week leading up to Earth Day, the PTA’s Sustainability Committee will be collecting textiles for reuse and recycling. Get your spring clean on! And help us raise money for our kids at the same time: The PTA will earn a dime on every pound collected.
Please bring in clean clothing, shoes, sneakers, hats, linens, towels, handbags, and belts. Note that we can’t accept scraps, rugs, comforters or pillows.
DROP OFF: Collection bins in PTA Office
SURVEYS DUE APRIL 20
(extended for online submissions only)
OK — we know you care, but just haven’t gotten a chance to do the survey yet. Right!? Parents who care enough to do the survey are the ones who help decide how we improve our school. Only 43% of you have filled it out. Let’s hear from EVERYONE!
The NYC School Survey went home in backpacks. Each school is required to participate. The survey is completely confidential and gives us a picture of our learning environment from both parent and teacher perspectives. If you lost your survey code, please go online and follow the prompts to get a new one. Online submissions are now due April 20, but please do your part and complete it as soon as possible.
PTA and SLT NOMINATIONS
APRIL 24 8:30am PTA MEETING
Please join your PTA to hear about and vote on an exciting new proposal for science this spring, and also to nominate people to serve our our PTA Executive Board and our School Leadership Team.
