I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.  It is so quiet here without your children’s bright, beautiful faces, I really do miss them. We’re busy getting everything ready for the new school year.  The building is getting a thorough cleaning, repairs are underway and we hope scaffolding will come down soon.  We are also planning exciting trips, renewing our community partnerships and finalizing schedules.   We are thrilled to continue with Rosie’s, NYC Ballet, Swim Lessons, and now 3rd Street Music and NYC bikes.  We also have been assembling  backpacks with school supplies for each student thanks to the generous donation from Trinity Church.  Families, you do not need to purchase anything!

 

The first day for students is Thursday, September 5th and I can’t wait to build on the great work we started last school year.  With your support, we improved attendance and significantly decreased our percentage of chronically absent students. Let’s keep this momentum going in the 2024 – 2025 school year.  We’re excited to host Back to School Night on September 12th where you will meet your child’s new teacher and learn all about their upcoming year.  Please, mark your calendars!

 

Mary and I are around all summer, so please reach out if you need anything.

 

Warmly,
