Letter from the Co Presidents – December 22, 2024

Dear Fellow Bronx Science Parents & Guardians,

As we approach the holiday break, we wanted to reflect on the first four months of the school year and thank everyone who has contributed to the community and to the Parents’ Association. We are grateful to those who help make our events possible, which could not happen without the dedicated and energetic support of our volunteers!

Speaking of which, we would like to thank our team of Hospitality volunteers, led by Fotini Marcopulos, who coordinated and served a lovely breakfast to the Bronx Science staff on Tuesday morning, which was greatly appreciated. Our volunteers were Luisa LaFleur, Patrice Smith, Sovannary Tan, and Shek Lam. Please click HERE for photos from the breakfast.

It was wonderful to see those of you who could attend this week’s December PA meeting and holiday gathering! The turnout was terrific, and it was a pleasure to see so many parents enjoying good food and conversation and excitedly purchasing Bronx Science swag. The PA would like to thank Anne Tien, Fotini Marcopulos, Jenny He, and Sai Satav who directed our hospitality and merchandise efforts and helped create an atmosphere of holiday cheer. Please see the In The Spotlight post below for an acknowledgement of the volunteers who helped us at this event!

The main event of the evening was a panel of Bronx Science students, moderated by AP Andrew Nasser, who discussed how they utilize Guidance Department resources and how Guidance has worked with them throughout their time at Bronx Science. The PA expresses our deepest gratitude to Mr. Nasser and students Marisa Quigley, Jadyn Sinclair, Oscar Peralta, Leo Rempe-Hiam, and Alice Malyukova who graciously shared their time, personal insights and experiences with us.

We would also like to thank Paul DeAngelo and Maryann Figuereo from Montefiore Medical Center for joining us to share information about the exciting new health services program that will be located in the school in the new year.

It was wonderful to come together as a community to share good food and to enjoy our merchandise sale! As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited about holding more gatherings, many of which can use volunteer support. Keep an eye out for information about future events and opportunities to sign up to help!

We also welcome any donations to the PA Annual Fund. Thank you all for your contributions so far this year! Your financial support helps our students in countless, marvelous ways! The PA is proud to support many clubs, teams, and activities, along with additional festivities and performances held this month. We hope you will donate at this link. We remind you that donations must be made by December 31 to be tax-deductible for 2024.

We want to share the news that the NYC PEP (Panel for Educational Policy) voted to sign a five-year contract with Pearson to digitalize the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) starting next year.

Finally, please mark your calendar for our first PA meeting of the new year on January 16 at 7:00 PM. This meeting will feature an overview of summer opportunities for Bronx Science students. This will be a fully remote meeting. An RSVP to register to attend this meeting will be sent out in January. Registrants will be sent a zoom link prior to the meeting date.

We hope you have a restful holiday break, Bronx Science. We look forward to seeing you in 2025!

Sincerely,

Xia (Lisa) Li, Arthur Wong and Jennifer Allen-Cheng
