Joe – Mr. Fong won’t be here for this meeting; he is attending another
meeting but he wanted me to remind you about signing up for summer rising
and that P.S. 130 is closed for the summer for renovations; therefore summer rising
will be at P.S. 150 this summer.
Let’s get started for the March meeting. Does anyone need any translation?
The bake sale was yesterday and PTC is today through Friday/Monday.
Here are last month’s meeting minutes to be reviewed and approved. They will
be posted on the PA Blog site.

This is our fundraising meter. We are at 40%; as you can see, we still
need a lot more fundraising help from everyone to help us meet our
fundraising goal to support all our Art programs.
Thank you, PA members and parents that are here.
Our spring dance will be on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at 3:15pm to 4:45pm.
Second graders and under will need a chaperone to accompany them to the
party. Third graders and up can attend the party on their own. If your child
attends an afterschool program, they will need to go back to their afterschool
program after the party.
