School News
Welcome back Scholars and Parents! As we start the school year, please be diligent about checking for notices via backpack mail. Going out soon will be the lunch forms. Although school lunch is now free for NYC participating schools, a large part of funding is based on completed forms returned to school. We are asking for 100% participation. You can also apply at www.nyc.applyforlunch.com and send in your confirmation with your scholar's name to Ms. Yearwood.

Your PTA Corner!
Welcome back!
We're starting off the year with our annual Box Top Drive! With limited resources and fund raising, this is an easy way to contribute to your scholar's school. Cut and paste, please! Secure your Box Tops to the attached sheet Box Top 50 Sheet.pdf and send the completed forms with your scholar's name and class to Ms. Balfour. A note along with a printed form will be going home via backpack mail shortly.
