A Winter Update from the PTA

Dear Families, Staff and Friends of PS 29,

It is incredible to us how quickly the school year is passing! We would like to take this time to thank all of our families, staff and friends for the support that you have shown PS 29 so far — from your contributions of time, energy and talent at PTA events through your tireless efforts to bring positive change into our school community (a salad bar in the lunchroom, a food and farming initiative, automated links for donations, a blog!).

We would like to update you on our schedule of fun and fundraising events that we will be presenting in the coming months. As always wewelcome and depend on your input and participation for the success of everything we do. Please watch your inboxes and backpack mail for information on the following events:

Many of you have already noticed that the PTA has made a greater effort this year to communicate with our families via our listserv and this blog. Registration and payment for our events and donations to the Annual Appeal can now be done online with a credit card. We have also added a number of links to our website and blog that contribute to our fundraising efforts for our school. If you have not had a chance to do so yet we encourage you to log on and check out changes to our main website. To receive regular updates via e-mail please subscribe to our listserv by sending an e-mail to the PS 29 PTA. [You can also scroll the left-hand sidebar of this blog and enter your email address under "Get Updates Directly from This Site Directly In Your InBox."] Our hope is to reach as many of you as possible, as frequently and efficiently as possible, using the least amount of paper possible.

Your PTA Co-Presidents,
Annie Montgomery and Jeanmarie Giordano
