Parent Volunteers Needed for Upcoming 2nd & 3rd Grade Enrichment Cycle!


The second and third grade Enrichment Cluster Cycle will begin on Thursday, October 16th! We have 14 staff members facilitating in this cycle, and we'd like to have at least 6 parents, as well. This would give our children 20 clusters to choose from and make their group sizes as small as 10. There will be an information meeting for parents interested in the possibility of facilitating their own cluster on Friday at 9:15 AM, immediately following Families as Learning Partners, 8:25-9:00 AM.

If you are interested, please either email Frank Thomas, assistant principal, or click the letter above, print out the slip and return via backpack mail to your child's teacher. Thank you very much!!

PS 29 is a Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) school. SEM provides enriched learning experiences and higher learning standards for all children through three goals; developing talents in all children, providing a broad range of advanced-level enrichment experiences for all students, and providing advanced follow-up opportunities for young people based on their strengths and interests. The SEM focuses on enrichment for all students through high levels of engagement and the use of enjoyable and challenging learning experiences that are constructed around students' interests, learning styles, and preferred modes of expression.

Parent Speakers Sought for Brown Bag Lunch Series


Molly Dubow, our new PS 29 enrichment specialist, is working on producing a new brown bag lunch series that will bring guest speakers to meet with groups of kids during lunch periods. Parents have been an amazing resource for enrichment clusters, and Molly is now eager to hear from parents with interests, talents, and passions to share with kids in this new format. Please email Lisa Trollbäck if you would like to participate or can recommend a speaker.

Thank you!
