FEBRUARY AUCTION
Speaking of fundraising events – We need your help for the February Auction. We still need your donations of items or services to put up for bidding. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive, just something fun, something useful, something intriguing - if people would bid on it, we want it. And if you can help out with auction planning with your planning expertise, even better! You can sign up to help and join the Auction Planning committee and donate items or services through the same link!
CEC Election
Parents across the city have an opportunity to help shape policies and priorities for NYC schools by voting for their representatives on a council or by running for a council seat themselves.
