Dear PS20 Community,

Thanks to everyone who supported by donating their time, services and energy to our annual Spring fundraiser: the Love Ball party and auction, which raised much money to support our school and our students! LAST CHANCE to bid on almost 100 items in our online auction, which will close tonight.

We hope everyone had a great time at Love Ball as well as Families as Learning Partners on Friday!
