PTO's Petty Fundraising

* BREAKING NEWS * 
from Paul Asimow, 
your petty fundraising czar!

We will be doing an order 
of gift cards from
shopwithscrip.com
for the end of the 
school year.

In other words, we're already paying for shipping. So, if you like physical gift cards more than e-cards, now is your chance to top up your stash of gift cards for teacher appreciation and those occasions that arise in life where you just need a gift for somebody in a hurry... If you want to join the buy, please fill out the *order form* and return it to the office or to Paul Asimow by Friday, May 27.


Thanks for your support,  PAUL

Experiencing Washington, D.C.
The 7th and 8th graders just returned from a four day visit to 
our nation's capital where they spent time at various memorial sites, 
embarked on Capitol Hill, and attentively observed the various sobering
displays at the National Holocaust Museum.
These middle school students took part in this incredible journey
with our Daniel Pearl Concert buddies from New Horizon (Muslim) School.
