The entire school wishes a Happy Retirement to Mrs Carmen Perez and Ms Jaqueline Simmons and Mme Valerie McIntosh -- we thank them all dearly for their many years of stupendous service and stellar support for our students! Also, a fond farewell to the incomparable Mr Joe Mulligan, who will be moving on to another school in a different district.
Library Committee update: The book giveaways were a success! We gave away about 600 books and collected just above $100 in donations. We have donated some books to Little Essentials, and donations will be made to Brooklyn Book Bodega and an orphanage in St. Vincent this upcoming week. The remaining books have been stored and will be used to replenish Ms. Blyden’s Little Free Library throughout the next school year. Thanks to all who helped out this year. Excited to see all that next year brings!
LAST CALL for LOST & FOUND: Final chance to skim through the Lost & Found (located between the Cafeteria & the Gym) for water bottles, backpacks, clothing and accessories. Anything left after Monday will be donated to the Community Closet or another repository.
