Parent Association Meeting Tuesday October 19
Elections are here!
The Stuyvesant Parent Association elections, that is. Elections will be held for 5 freshmen, 3 sophmore, 1 junior and 1 senior Members-at-Large, as well as 1 freshman/Title I SLT member this Tuesday night, October 19 at the PA meeting, 7pm.
This election directly affects how your donations to the annual appeal are spent because PA officeholders participate in decisions and related discussions. No room for voter apathy, here. We need YOU to participate in your school's Parent Association elections. Sign in for a paper ballot when you arrive in the school lobby.

Mr. Chany has appeared on network news programs and provided information for several major publications. As with all invited speakers, the invitation to speak from the Parents' Association does not imply any endorsement of Mr. Chany's services.
