Greetings!
 
Happy new year, and welcome back to Stuyvesant.  On behalf of the Parents' Association Executive Board, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season; we're looking forward to great things in this new year.
 
In the near future, we will be reaching out to the parent body in search of volunteers to help us with our important annual Lunar Feast fundraiser -- see below for details -- as well as with grant writing assistance and office help.  (It may not be glamorous, but it has to get done!)  Please give serious thought to committing some of your valuable time to helping us make Stuy better for our kids.
 
 
Sincerely,

Florence Hutner
Corresponding Secretary
