We have wonderful family involvement at NYE in these programs, and for that we are grateful. We want to continue to strive towards our commitments…

And we need you to help us *Shoot for the Stars*!

Our fall fundraiser, Coupon Sale Books, fell short of our goal, which has consequentially lead us into doing another fundraiser to help sup-port our activities for the year. With your ongoing support, we are looking forward to having families participate in our Write-A-Check Cam-paign which will allow us to offer all of our wonderful activities and events we have planned as a committed PTA. In particular, your support will help the PTA to provide the following for the school year:

Art Awareness Program; Assemblies; Field Trips; One Book One School; Room Parties; Recess Equipment

Participation is simple:

*Fill out the card attached and include your check in the envelope provided *Make your check payable to NYE PTA *Send your completed form, check and envelope to school with your child by Friday, Dec. 4th
