Greetings!
As our children work hard to finish the semester and get through their finals and Regents exams, we can learn more about their summer opportunities at next Tuesday's PA meeting, and we can put in time ourselves to help make their school experience richer. For example, the PA can always use volunteers for the important annual Lunar Feast fundraiser -- details are posted below, including the new date for the event. Meanwhile, enjoy and appreciate this long weekend and the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy.
Sincerely,
Florence Hutner
Corresponding Secretary

Discount ice-skating in Battery Park City
A temporary rink has opened two blocks from Stuy in Battery Park City and will be there until February 15. The operator has offered to give students a discount on school days between 3-6pm: $7 admission and $9 admission plus skate rental. (The prices are normally $10 and $13 respectively.) What a great way for the kids to unwind and have fun!
