MAKE ENRICHMENTS HAPPEN

HELP US REACH OUR GOAL BY MAY 31!

In place of hosting a virtual gala this spring, we are asking parents to donate towards a $10.5K goal, totaling what we would have raised at the event. By raising these funds now, we can finish the school year with enough money to introduce new programs and bring back our beloved enrichments, such as chess, music . and dance classes. Running additional academic programs, community activities, and social and emotional training for teachers, children, and parents costs on average $550 per child. We still need at least $10K to reach our budgeted annual donation goal. We ask that each family gives what they can, no matter how large or small. Please visit ps154.org/donate by May 31.

MAKE ENRICHMENTS HAPPEN

HELP US REACH OUR GOAL BY MAY 31!

Help us raise $20.5K by May 31 to make our class enrichments and PTA funded activities happen! Our P.S. 154 community has remained strong, and now with the return of many children to full-time in-person school, and a robust remote learning program, our goal is to keep pushing forward, and raise the funds we really need to sustain our PTA-funded programs. As most parents voted to not hold a Gala this year, but instead to give donations, we are asking you to please give a donation to replace the $10.5K budgeted for the Gala and the $10K for annual donations. Please visit ps154.org/donate by the end of May. This will provide us with the funds and time to plan to bring back some of those cherished activities, such as chess, music programming, recess coaching and social and emotional learning. We know that it has been a very different year. We encourage you to give what you can to help us establish a strong enrichment program for our children for next year and beyond.
