PS151 - Yorkville Community School

Parent Teacher Association Welcome
Updated August 2011

Dear Yorkville Community School Family,

We are looking forward to finally walking through the doors of our permanent home in September!

The success of our school over the last few years can be attributed to the excellent staff, the strong leadership of our principal Samantha Kaplan and our active parent body. The Parent Teacher Association provides support to the principal and staff and assists the school in raising money to provide supplemental educational programs and activities to further enhance the school curriculum. With our new school location and the continued growth of our student body, the economic needs of our school are growing.

Every year each District 2 elementary school Parent Teacher Association conducts an Annual Appeal to raise funds. The goal of the YCS Annual Appeal is 100% participation. The percent participation is an important factor as we apply for grants for additional support of our school from corporations and our elected officials. Funds raised through the Annual Appeal will directly support: Asphalt Green recess program, Chess, 92Y, Salvadori, and Aussie staff development.

This year, we are requesting a donation of $1,250 per child - but no amount is too small. Given the economic environment, we understand all families may not be able to contribute this amount in full. Last year’s Annual Appeal donations ranged from $25 to over $1,250. All donations are welcomed and will have a tremendous impact on efforts to reach our goal of 100% participation.

Please download and print the contribution form by clicking here. All donations will be kept strictly confidential. You also have the option of paying in installments throughout the year. It is crucial that we begin our fundraising efforts now. We look forward to your participation and to continuing to build a vibrant and supportive school community.

YCS PTA is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) corporation. All donations are tax deductible and 100% of the funds will directly benefit our children. Please also check with your employers in order to take advantage of opportunities for corporate matching - an easy way of increasing donations.

The Annual Appeal is a very important way that you can support the YCS school community. We look forward to working with you on many other fun and exciting PTA activities in the year ahead.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Caroline Hall and Lori Levin Gabrielle Goldberg

Co-Presidents, YCS PTA Vice President, Fundraising
