Dear Fellow Parents & Guardians:
We hope everyone had a restful and flavorful Thanksgiving break. And a Happy Chanukah to all in our community who celebrate it!
Speaking of celebrations, we are quickly closing in on our first in-person PA meeting of the calendar year. This not-to-be missed event will be held on Wednesday, December 15th beginning at 6:30pm. Our featured guest will be Eleanor Coufos (Class of ’99), VP of the Bronx High School of Science Alumni Foundation. The Alumni Foundation (AF) is a critical source of funding and enrichment for our students and school. Eleanor will share her wealth of knowledge with us, including exciting AF-driven Bronx Science developments, and tips for how our kids can make the most of their summers.
Come hungry as the PA will convert the school gymnasium into an alcohol-free, COVID-protocol-guided happy hour lounge from 6:30-7:30pm. Plus, bring your checkbook and prepare to do some holiday shopping at the first live Bronx Science swag market. Be prepared for an evening of fun, solidarity and holiday cheer.
In that spirit, we are asking for a little help:
For those who have been waiting for an opportunity to volunteer for the PA, this is your moment. Please consider signing up here for set-up, food service, merchandise sales and/or clean-up.
Also, please note: The school will require that all attendees wear a mask, show proof of full vaccination and present a DOE health screening survey (the same ones our kids fill out daily). This survey must be filled out the same day as our meeting. You can access the survey here.
Please RSVP with “RSVP” in the subject line to: president@bxsciencepa.org
This season of giving continues with a special free ticket opportunity for our families for Try Harder! a highly acclaimed documentary about the rigors of the college admissions process. See below for more details.
Finally, we had a successful start to our Sunday Wellness Walks in Riverside Park and we are also pleased to announce that they will be held weekly kicking off at 3pm at Community Garden on the Riverside Park Promenade, about 200 feet inside the park from the entrance at West 91st Street and Riverside Drive.
Cheers,
Jerome Kramer & Cliff Stanton
PA Co-Presidents,
