Dear P.S.122 Parents, Teachers, Faculty & Staff-

Raffles

Total Income $62,943.98 64,466.57

At the beginning of the school year we were met with an arts program that was in jeopardy, but with the amazingly generous donations (along with school pictures & Great American Fundraiser) received from the parents, we have been able to pay for most of the programs so that the children will not go without Ballroom Dancing, Noguchi Museum Partnership and the Little Orchestra Society to name a few. We unfortunately are still in need of donations, and we will be having a second appeal for the arts in the near future. The PTA has had some small fundraisers like our movie nights, and we just had an Ice Skating fundraiser attended by over 100 children which is just fabulous for our first attempt at that type of a fundraiser. Many thanks to our Assistant Treasurer Claudia Voyiatzis who did a great job of putting it together. Her hard work truly paid off.

As a community we have had to deal with Hurricane Sandy, which devastated so many. Then, as we were all preparing to celebrate the holidays, the town of Sandy Hook suffered an unimaginable tragedy. The school, as always, made sure to address the students and offered reassurance at a time when we were all so fragile. After Sandy we had some parent volunteers who went out to the Rockaways with food and toys for the children. The Middle School “adopted” a family and sent over much needed supplies to that family. After the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook, the P.T.A. cut ribbons for the children to tie around the school gates to let those in Sandy Hook know that they were in our thoughts and that the P.S.122 families stood united with them.

Teachers’ Luncheon $1,400.00

Payments to Vendors for Fundraising

$8,650.00

We would like to thank our parent volunteers that are always ready to help, even if it means walking up five flights of stairs to deliver packets of candy, pictures, etc. There is no way we could get the things we need to get done without the parent volunteers.
