It was a short week but a packed week. 8th grade engaged in "Challenge Days" - ask your kiddos about it. It was pretty moving. Advisory Olympics were on Wednesday. And the weather is finally feeling like Spring!
Rest up, recoup and see you in 11 days - for the final stretch of April, May and June! We have tons planned, lots to look forward to and many ways to celebrate our kids achievements.
With gratitude,
Rebecca Lupardo & Corinne Moreno-Geis
Your PTA Co-Presidents

7TH GRADE CORNER
7th Grade Families
For any 7th grade students who are interested in auditioning for an arts high school in the fall, the NYC DOE is running a free Arts Audition Boot Camp over the summer. This two-week, in-person intensive program is designed to help students work on and improve their materials for high school auditions. The deadline for the application is April 28th.
For more information and to apply online go to: MS Arts Audition Boot Camp 2023 Application (cvent.com)
If you have any additional questions, please contact Hope.
What else can families do now?
· Make sure that ALL of the information in your NYCSA Account is correct. In the fall, you will be able to create a high school application account on MySchools. The contact information on that site is based on the information in your NYCSA Account. If you do not have an account, you may contact Hope for assistance.
We've raised $16,025 towards our goal of $62,500! We're $46,475 away!
Thank you to the 45 families who have given so far. We need help from the rest of you!
Please fill the gap! Click here and give as generously as you are able. Any amount you give will be gratefully received and directly supports your student.
