Mon, Nov 25 1:14pm

THANK YOU!!

 

Dear PS 107,

 

We want to extend our deepest gratitude for your extraordinary support and volunteer efforts over the past three months.

 

From the September Clothing Swap to the energetic PTA Fun Run to the Halloween Costume/Winter Clothing Drive at Fall Festival AND the Winter Clothing Swap this past weekend, your participation has been overwhelming. We collected so many costumes at Fall Festival and the community of PS 124 had the best time wearing them. Your contributions have not only enriched our school but have also fostered a strong sense of community.

 

 

 

Upcoming Volunteer Events:

  1. D15 Coat Drive
  2. Book Drive at the Winter Craft Fair, 12/14
  3. PS 169 Kindergarten Holiday Gifts

 

 

District 15 Coat Drive:

Based on our preexisting relationship with PS 124 we will be working with them to identify winter coat needs within their community. We have created an Amazon Wish List based on their specific needs.  We are in need gathering 162 coats by Dec 6th so please consider participating and sharing in the gift of warmth this holiday!  Click the link here to send a winter coat to their community today!

Winter Craft Fair Book Drive and PS 169 Kindergarten Holiday Gifts:

We will be teaming up with DEI to host a book drive at the Winter Craft Fair on 12/14.  Donations can be made the mornings of Wed, Dec. 11 and Thurs, Dec. 12th outside PS 107 at Drop-Off!

 

These books will then be sold at the Winter Craft Fair as a fundraiser to purchase holiday gifts for kindergarteners at PS 169 in Sunset Park.  The remaining funds will go toward DEI’s diverse books for the classrooms.
