Welcome Back PS 121!
PTA Newsletter September 2022
Message from the PTA Board
Welcome back PS 121 students, parents/guardians and staff! We are excited for the new school year and all this year has to offer! As many uncertainties still remain we want to assure you that the PTA is here to support however we can. As a Parent Teacher Association we look forward to the continued communication and support between parents and teachers throughout this year. We have a lot of great things to look forward to and with less Covid restrictions we look forward to planning more events while keeping safety as the main priority.
Throughout the year we are looking forward to keeping some of our traditional fundraisers: Popcorn Sales, Picture Day, Holiday Boutiques etc.. but also introducing some new fundraising ideas: Raffles, Small Business Drive, School Spirit Gear Drive, Ongoing Fundraisers like Amazon Smile and more.
This year we are also introducing a new App (Cheddar Up) to make paying and purchasing items throughout the year much easier. Cash will still be accepted, but this will be provided as an option to make paying easier and hassle free. This App can be used with your phones or computers and does not require you downloading the actual application. Once we share the link for the event you will just click into the link and follow the steps provided.
In addition we have a New Remind Account for receiving updates from the PTA: https://www.remind.com/join/ptaps121 and we will also be sending out Monthly PTA Newsletters through a new domain "Smore.com".
Parent Volunteers are essential to our success and we are looking forward to more volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Our children's success is Our success!
Please don't hesitate to reach us at 28Q121PA@schools.nyc.gov with any questions, ideas and/or concerns. In addition we now have a new extension in the school. You may call the extension and leave a voicemail for the PTA Board at 718-843-1770 ext. 2750
We look forward to an amazing year and getting to meet you all!
