A Note from Principal Fitzgerald
Dear Families,
Thank you to everyone who attended our Music and Media Shares last week! It was such a joy to see our students showcase their talents and creativity, and we are grateful for the support of our families in making these events a success. A special thanks to the PTA for their unwavering support of these programs — your dedication helps make these experiences possible for our students.
As we continue to celebrate Women's History Month, we want to take a moment to thank the families who have been updating our bulletin boards throughout the school. One of the highlights is the beautiful display honoring the incredible women on our staff who are making history every day by supporting and inspiring our students. We are so proud to work alongside such dedicated educators!
We are excited to announce that Daphne Helvira Arthur, a talented local artist, will be visiting us this Thursday to share her work with students in grades K-5. It’s an excellent opportunity for our students to explore the world of art and creativity!
Additionally, we were recently visited by the district office to see how our rollout of the Wit and Wisdom curriculum is progressing. They were incredibly impressed by the hard work and dedication of our staff in implementing this new program, and we couldn’t be more proud of our team’s commitment to providing the best education possible for our students.
A quick reminder: there will be no school on Monday, March 31, in observance of Eid-al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak to all of our families who celebrate; we wish you a joyful and peaceful Eid.
Thank you for your continued support of P.S. 154. Together, we are making great things happen for our students!
Warmly,
Kathryn

PTA & SLT board: Upcoming Elections
At the PTA’s April general meeting Wednesday, April 30 @ 6:30p), we will be holding nominations for the entire executive board and SLT parent positions.
We need you! Yes, you! Please take a moment to consider running for a role in the PTA. Without all the organization and planning by our board members and committees, these events and other valuable school programs would not be possible. Please add your voice and talents to our amazing team!
We'd love to answer your questions and help you figure out which role is best for you. These roles do not need to be a huge time commitment; many of us in parent leadership are full-time working parents, parents of multiple kids, or both! No experience is necessary. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out at pta_info@ps154.org
More information on each role and what it requires can be found in our PTA of PS154 bylaws.
