November Food Drive
We collected approximately 600lbs of food.
It is being donated to St. Mary's food pantry - Woodside New York.
The top class was 3-1; they donated the most.
Once again the students and parents of 229 were outstanding.
Gifted and Talented Update
Please be advised that the closing date to apply for gifted and talented testing is November 12, 2019 not November 2, 2019 as stated in my note included with the Booklets.
As always I am available for any concerns or questions.
Thank you.
