Dear PS 107 Families,
The holiday season is upon us! During this time of giving, District 15 has designated December 15th as a district-wide Day of Action, where the entire community will come together in support of families in need.
What does this mean? All next week, December 5th-9th, PS 107 (along with all schools in District 15) will be collecting winter gear, non-perishable food items, toiletries, and small toys for families in need. We will have collection boxes at the main entrance and the Big Yard entrance on 8th Avenue all week. Items will then be delivered to a centralized location, sorted, organized and provided to families across the District 15 community, prioritizing those who are asylum-seekers and not eligible for government assistance.
The culmination of all of this will be the district-wide Day of Action on December 15th from 4 to 5:30 pm at PS 24 in Sunset Park. All District 15 community members are invited to attend this event, where there will be student performances, displays of artwork, and presentations by local elected officials and District 15 Superintendent Rafael Alvarez. If you would like to attend, please see this event announcement and RSVP by clicking the link in the flyer.
Please bring donations of these items to PS 107 the week of December 5th, and please join the community celebration on December 15th if you are able to. During this busy holiday season, we are so grateful for your support of those in the greatest need.
Warmly,
Ms Joanna
