Next General PA Meeting This Wednesday Nov 20th
Dear Parent Association members (aka Every EVCS parent),
Wednesday morning is our monthly General PA Meeting – 11/20 8:45-10AM, in the auditorium. There will be tea and coffee.
On the agenda:
CEC 1 president Naomi Peña will be joining us to present a district and city wide plan to travel to Albany and hold a “Lobby Day” at the state legislature. Come hear details about a group day-trip to petition our representatives demanding a fair share of the state budget that our city public schools need and deserve.
We will discuss the ‘town hall’ we had with D1 Superintendent Carry Chan (11/6); what our next steps might be for our school and regarding her district-wide initiative. You can read the minutes from that meeting HERE.
Pre K parent, Sierra, has joined the Exec committee as the chair for our Green and Wellness team. She will be presenting some ideas for increasing our sustainability and decreasing our footprint.
If you have any other items you would like discussed please email [papresident@evcsnyc.org](mailto:papresident@evcsnyc.org)
Read the Oct. PA meeting minutes HERE.
See you Wednesday morning,
PA Exec Team
P.S. Our General Family Fund drive continues with its second Raffle of the year.
School Wide Morning Meeting Message 11/18/2019
Dear EVCS Students,
Our Core Value is Joy of Learning
Students at EVCS get regular instruction in art, music, dance, physical education and chess, and work with visiting teaching artists and specialists. We work in mixed age groups in clubs, get intensive enrichment programs through electives, and go on lots of field trips. We want your experiences at school to spark wonderment and awe and a love for learning!
Sometimes joy of learning can be experienced in small and subtle ways, like when you work hard on a challenging task and feel proud of your accomplishments. Other times joy of learning is experienced in really big and memorable ways. I want to share with you one such moment from a field trip the 5th graders went on a couple of weeks ago, fishing in the East River.
Our Core Value is Kindness
If you have already donated can or boxes of food for our annual Harvest Festival food drive, thank you for your kindness and generosity! If you haven’t yet, don’t worry there’s still time! And if you aren’t able to bring in cans or boxes of food this year there will be other ways to get involved at the harvest Festival, by singing loud and proud, carrying the food we have collected over to the Trinity Church food pantry and soup kitchen, and thanking the good people who work there every day to help address food insecurity in the East Village.
Thanks so much to our friends in the Kindergarten for hosting today, thanks to all of the parents who came this morning, huge thanks to the SWMM house band, and thank you to everyone who sang loud and proud. Have a great day and great week everyone.
Love,
Bradley
Pie for EVCS
Dear All, We are very excited to announce our next raffle – it’s not photos or Broadway tickets (though get in touch if you can get us some of those). It’s something better. It’s pie. And not just any pie… we are raffling off a homemade double crust fruit pie made by Kindergarten teacher and baker extraordinaire Clara Lin. Check out Clara’s Instagram account to see what you could be in store for! |
DONATE HERE |
How do you enter? It’s easy, just make a donation to the EVCS PA before 11:59PM on Sunday November 24th. Anyone who has donated this school year is already entered and we will announce the winner on Monday, November 25th. The prized pie can be picked up at the Harvest Festival on Wednesday November 27th. With Gratitude, P.S. – Pass this email on to family and friends to increase your odds and increase the funds raised by EVCS.
