PS19 PTA

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR PTA WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR HOME! There are two ways you can do this. First, go to our PTA's web site at www.ps19pta.org... One way. DONATE Click on the donate button, and give to our annual drive fund, using your bank account, credit card, or paypal account. Our suggested donation is $20. If every family donates $20, we will be able to start restoring the music program at 3rd Avenue Music School which we lost because of DoE budget cuts. HOWEVER, every bit counts. The more families that donate a little something, the easier it will be for the PTA to get matching funds from other sources. So, please DONATE! Another way. SHOP THIS WILL COST YOU NOTHING. Whenever you buy stuff from Amazon.com, PLEASE make sure you first click on the link you will find in the web page. Then order as you usually do. You will still be able to enjoy all your discounts, coupons, etc, but the PTA will get up to 15% of the purchase amount at NO COST TO YOU. HELP US FUND ALL SORTS OF COOL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FOR OUR CHILDREN AT PS19!

Thanks to everyone for a really fun FunFest PS19 PTA We had record attendance and everyone had a great time! The raffle and the food and drink sales raised $481.25 for the PTA of PS19. Thanks to all of your cash, goods and time donations, we only spent $35 of that in setting up and running the FunFest, so the PTA raised almost $450. ... We had fun AND raised money for the PTA!
