A Note from Ms. Rached
We are so excited to see families at parent-teacher conferences on Thursday, Nov. 2nd (can you believe that November is around the corner?!) - we will be sharing sign-up sheets via Remind on Friday. This year, parents-teacher conferences will be remote, held over Zoom. We will accommodate requests for in-person meetings if you prefer - please reach out to your child’s teacher about this after the sign-up sheets are sent out.
Upcoming Events
Boo Bash - October 21
🦇 Boo Bash is almost here! 🦇
—But we can’t hold it without your help!—
Please sign up for a volunteer shift
or commit to bringing a baked good
for our bake sale!
Behold the 😱 sheer terror 😱 of the Boo Bash! PS 154’s Annual Halloween tradition is back and ready for all of the monsters, mayhem, and madness.
Spooky Saturday, October 21, 2pm-6pm
(Rain or shine! If the weather doesn’t cooperate we’ll move indoors!)
Here’s how to help us make this a monster success:
— SKIP THE LINE: Preorder tickets and tees in advance until 10/19. Or grab yours at the door!
— PLAN YOUR OUTFIT: Preorder your Boo Bash 2023 glow-in-the-dark T-shirt. (Shirts will be distributed to children in class)
— HELP US HELP YOU: We’re petrified of being understaffed! Please sign up for a volunteer shift or recruit your local high school kid in need of community service hours.
—HELP HAUNT THE HOUSE: Drop off any Halloween decorations you want to donate on Friday, 10/20, between 3 and 6 p.m. We are especially in need of plastic storage bins to store all of our boo bash supplies. Thanks so much!
—SWEETEN THE DEAL: Lend a helping hand by dropping off homemade or store-bought cupcakes, candy, and cookies (oh, my!) for our Boo Bash bake sale on Saturday, 10/21, in the schoolyard between 12 and 3 p.m. (Please include an ingredient list.) Add your name to the list so we know what you're bringing.
Remember: The funds from Boo Bash help ensure that your little ghouls and goblins continue to benefit from all the amazing PTA-sponsored offerings at 154.
So, join us. It’ll be a scream!
