Thanks for joining February’s PTA meeting

Thanks to everyone who could join this month’s PTA meeting, and especially to Principal Harris and the PTA executive board for presenting to our community. Everyone’s participation in these meetings is greatly appreciated. Here are the minutes from that meeting. 


Please join us for the next meeting on 3/5, Thu, 7:30pm via Zoom.

📣 Your Chance to Ask Chancellor Questions 📣

NYC Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels is kicking off a citywide listening tour, giving families, students, and educators a chance to share feedback and ask questions directly. The 2/24 Manhattan meeting has been rescheduled to Mon, 3/23, 6:30 - 8:00pm, Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics, 260 Pleasant Avenue. 


Conversations will focus on priorities like safety, academic programs, and school diversity. The idea is to use community input to help shape future decisions. If you have thoughts, questions, or concerns, this is a great opportunity to be heard. Parents and caregivers are strongly encouraged to participate. Multiple locations and times available.

🔥 Dragon Fuel — Time to Restock! 🔥

Let’s continue showing some love to our amazing Anderson teachers and staff! It’s time to restock Dragon Fuel, our monthly surprise trolley packed with snacks, treats, and smiles.


Help keep the cart rolling by grabbing a few goodies from our Amazon wish-list. Everything ships straight to the school—easy peasy!


Thanks for fueling the Anderson community! We’ll keep adding new items to the wish-list, so check back often and keep the treats coming.
