SOCK DRIVE

We are doing a school-wide sock drive, which will culminate in CRAZY SOCK Day on Nov. 18. Please send in pairs or packs of new socks in all sizes. They will be collected in classroom and donated to a nearby shelter.

DIWALI PHOTOS

We had a such a great time celebrating Diwali with students and families last week! Here are some pictures from the activity:

SEE YOU AT THE WINTER FAIR (AND HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN)!

Details drop next week, but for now we can divulge three words: hot chocolate bar

Mark your calendars for December 10, 2022 for the PS154 Winter Fair! Join us for our annual celebration of winter’s icy serenade with food, music, amusements, prizes, and crafts. Do us a favor – just go ahead and say “Alexa, add an event to my calendar.” (It’s fun even if you don’t use a digital assistant.)

We still need volunteers to help plan and make every aspect of the event a success. Join the Winter Fair Planning Committee now!

FEBRUARY AUCTION

Speaking of fundraising events – If you can help out with auction planning, we welcome your planning expertise and/or any items you wish to gift for our February Auction. Start helping now and join the Auction Planning Committee! You can donate items or services through this link as well.

SCHOOL STORE

Today was the last day of the season for our beloved pop-up school store. A huge thank you to Stefanie Schiada, School Store Chair Extraordinaire! The online school store is open 24/7. Items purchased online will be delivered to your child’s classroom.


LOST AND FOUND

Many items were reunited with their owners this week. Please encourage your children to check the lost and found if they are missing items, and please label coats, jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, hats, scarves, and water bottles.
