FUNDRAISERS & EVENTS AT PS/IS 178Q
FUNDRAISERS & EVENTS AT PS/IS 178Q
January 6, 2011
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We hope your Winter break was restful and enjoyable. Happy New Year!
During our Barnes and Noble Event in December, our school community spent over $2,600 and our school’s total profit was $540. The event was very successful. We will be able to use those funds towards the purchase of future “Books of the Month.” As you are aware, teachers in all grades read the “Book of the Month” to the students and they have an opportunity to analyze the text and produce a response to literature. Our theme for the past two years centers on diversity. We have selected authors from a variety of backgrounds and themes that embrace our Holliswood Virtues. We have also chosen books representing different literary genres. Some of the books we have read are:
Hairs by Sandra Cisneros (PreK to grade 3) w/ House on Mango Street (grades 4-8); Hip Hop Speaks to Children edited by Nikki Giovanni ; Red Sings from Treetops by Joyce Sidman; Barack Obama, Son of Promise, Child of Hope by Nikki Grimes; I Am Amazed by Jodi Hills; Trees of the Dancing Goats by Patricia Polacco; Martin’s Big Words and Lady Liberty: A Biography by Doreen Rappaport; Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things by Lenore Look; Hey Dad, Let’s Have a Catch by Harold Theurer, Jr; Listen to the Rain by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault; Snow by Cynthia Rylant. Our January 2011 book of the month is The Sound of Colors by Jimmy Liao and our February 2011 book of the month will be Ruby Bridges Goes To School by Ruby Bridges.
Lastly, in October, during our Big Apple Fundraiser, our school community spent $5,308. Our school’s profit was $2,731. All of the funds are allocated towards school-wide events and materials.
In light of the financial crisis, we thank you for all your generosity.
Please be sure to regularly visit our school blog: http://holliswoodschool.blogspot.com , which contains additional information about upcoming events and other school news.
Thank you again for all of your efforts.
