First PA meeting of the year a success!
We had a terrific turnout at the first PA meeting of the year. Lots of information provided by PA chairs Alex Cai and Wai Wah Chin will also be available in the minutes you can read in next month's Bulletin.
Thank you to Principal Stan Teitel, Parent Coordinator Harvey Blumm and Big Sibs Tiana Stute, Sadie Bergen, Oren Bukspan and Colin O'Connor for presenting Tuesday night. And thanks to the many parents from ALL boroughs who attended!
Be sure to consider participating in Stuyvesant life by being a Parent Association Executive Board member-at-large or joining a committee of interest. The School Leadership Team requires a freshman member who can also represent our school's Title I constituency. You can find nomination and contact information further in this e-mail. There is plenty to do and a place where you can help.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or comments. I look forward to fielding your questions and suggestions.
