June 14 - Parents’ Spring Soirée
UPCOMING AT 154
GOOD TIME ALERT! — Parents’ Spring Soirée
Mark your calendars and hire your babysitters for Wednesday, JUNE 14! Join us and other PS154 parents from 7-10pm at Park Slope Jewish Center (8th Ave and 14th St) for a convivial outdoor evening of food, drinks, and live jazz.
Bonus — you can both have fun and help fund enrichment programs for next year! You like chess, music, and other programs like that? Then come celebrate with us; buying tickets to the soirée helps us help our kids! If you can, be a sponsor! You can purchase tickets as a silver, gold. or platinum sponsor, which helps us reach our goals and gives you recognition you deserve (as well a gift of appreciation).
You can buy tickets and become a sponsor here!
So more details to come, but save the date — you deserve a night out without your kids to socialize with other parents and. . .probably talk about your kids. It’ll be a memorable evening under the lights and night sky.
Here’s your fancy invitation, where you can RSVP.
See you there!

First deadline for edukit orders is fast approaching!
The PTA of PS 154 offers the EduKit program as a convenient option for busy families to order school supplies for the 2023/2024 year. EduKits include the supplies approved by our school.
Order TODAY at www.edukitinc.com
Order By June 30th for best pricing and free delivery to the school.
For each grade, except kindergarten, there are two kit options. There is a student kit and a household kit. The student kit includes the supplies used by the student. The household kit contains items shared in the classroom and to keep the classroom clean. To see a complete list of items included in each kit, go to edukitinc.com.
If you choose NOT to purchase the household kit, please send the items, with your student, during the first two weeks of school.
Your child’s EduKit will be in your student’s classroom on the first day of school.
Extended ordering is available July 1 through August 1 for a $12.95 additional fee and will be delivered to your home shortly before school begins.
Find the ordering guide and pricing list here.
