Thank you for supporting PS29

 Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the families who bid on our portrait sessions at the PS29 Spring Gala and Silent Auction earlier this year.  I feel so fortunate that my children can go to such a special public school. We had a great time with the Klauss Family a couple of weeks ago in Prospect Park on a gorgeous fall day.

Can this little girl be any cuter?!  Look at that adorable smile.

Good times!

Look for us at the 2012 Spring Gala!

and thank you again for supporting our school.

Some information about the budget cuts and why raising money for our public school is so important; from the PS29 website:

It’s hard to imagine things could be tougher for NYC public schools, but another $1.4 Billion in budget

cuts is slated to hit us next year. It is up to the schools’ families and PTAs to make up for these

reduced resources. PS 29, in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, is an exemplary elementary school which educates

a diverse community of 715 schoolchildren, approximately one third of whom are eligible for free

lunch. The cuts to our budget over recent years have been profound.

On February 10th, the PTA’s Spring Gala and Silent Auction is expected to make up some of this

shortfall. All the monies that are raised by this and other PTA events go directly to enriching our

students’ education through a wide variety of learning initiatives. Providing our children with a wellrounded

education is paramount for our families.
