ANNUAL FUND MATCHING WEEK!  

Contribute to the Annual Fund, which directly supports essential school programs and resources. This week, all donations will be MATCHED by an anonymous team of PS 107 families until we reach 8K! Here’s how:

  • Donate via Konstella here,
  • Share this link with non-Konstella using friends and family, or
  • Leave a check made out to PS 107 PTA with Ms. Nadia in the office.
  • We also accept gifts of stock here - stock donations are tax-free!

TERRACYCLE WASTE DAY COLLECTION

Terracycle accepts hard-to-recycle packaging and other trash in exchange for points to trade in for cash for our school, planting trees for deforestation, and more. Bring hard-to-recycle items of trash to school on Wednesday at morning drop-off, outside the main entrance. Items being collected for recycling include oral care items and deodorant containers, squeezy pouches (rinsed with caps on), Brita filters and pitchers, and torn/stained (non-donatable) kids clothing.  The 5th grade green team then sorts items and earns points to support causes of their choice. Last year, we collected nearly 160 pounds of material and gave to several causes including the National Wildlife Federation.

SENSORY TOY DRIVE

On Wednesday, November 20th, at morning drop-off, the PSSE is collecting gently used sensory tools for PS 107 ICT classrooms and related service providers. Items being collected include: weighted toys/blankets, wobble stools, wiggle cushions, lap pads, noise canceling headphones, fidgets, and tents. Thanks to all for your continued support and generosity.
