Heavy Metal: Our Electronics Recycling Drive's Impressive Tonnage Report

Here are the confirmed numbers from our first-ever joint electronics recycling day with the Cobble Hill Association: In just a one-day span, we had 192 people come to the schoolyard to drop off electronics of all sorts, collectively weighing 9,054 pounds. That's all hazardous material that we thankfully diverted from landfills and which will now be either re-purposed or will receive proper disposal. Per our contacts at the Lower East Side Ecology Center (LESEC), these are truly fantastic results! The PTA therefore looks forward to working with the Cobble Hill Association and LESEC for a second e-recycling drive.

A Sea of Supporters at PS 29: Uncork'd for a Cause at Bocca Lupo

The party last week at Bocca Lupo, PS 29: Uncork'd for a Cause, raised an unprecedented $6,000 for learning materials and supplies! Staff members, teachers, parents, friends and neighbors poured into the restaurant to lift a glass for the school. The event was fabulously chaired by Mónica Gutiérrez-Kirwan, who worked with a wonderful team of volunteers.

A big thank-you goes to parent Jeff Lederman for graciously hosting the event - now in its third year - and parent Donna Faircloth for donating the John Varvatos leather weekend bags for a wonderfully successful raffle. Winners were parent Emily Cohen and Coleen Cahill, a Carroll Gardens supporter of the PS 29 community.
