Thank You to
Qian Gao and Marlie Meringer,
our wonderful Mom’s Night Out Co-Chairs,
who completely outdid themselves!
We felt that we were at the beach in the fabulous
room that was creatively decorated with attention
to every detail. The Bahama Mamas took the
chill out of the frigid evening and the delicious
hors d’oeuvres were enjoyed by all!
Thank you to
Christopher Mandigo and Thomas Smykowski
for organizing a fun-filled Saturday
morning Pajama Pancake Breakfast!
Thank you to the many dads who volunteered and cooked to feed a record number of children! It was
wonderful to see so many siblings. The children enjoyed pancakes and tattoo art, and were
captivated by the return of Sammie & Tudie. Parents enjoyed the delicious breakfast,
many with refreshing mimosas!
The 6th Annual Pajama Program Drive is still going!
We have received 20 pajamas to date and would love to break the school’s record of 60. The donation box will be in the lobby until next Wednesday, January 22nd for NEW, warm pajamas sizes infant to 5 years. Thank You!

** FLU REMINDER **
Due to the serious nature of this year’s flu season, please
help us keep our children and teachers healthy and well.
It is imperative that if your child has an elevated temperature or
vomiting after 6:00pm the evening before school, your child
should NOT be sent to school. Please call the office and/or email
your teachers with a specific message about WHY your child is
out (before 10am, please).
In addition, if your child has stayed home due to flu-like illness
for two or more days you need to bring in a doctor’s note
indicating that your child has been cleared to return to school.
Many children say they feel
better because they do not want to miss school.
However, this must be a firm parental decision.
Do you have a child who is turning five in 2020?
The NYC DOE Kindergarten Application is now available!
The deadline to fill out the application is January 21, 2020.
Visit Kindergarten Admissions for information.

Summer Art Bunch is back for 2020!
Summer Art Bunch is taught by PCDS teachers Christine Barber and Margie Keenan.
Our program is tailored for children aged 2.5 through 5 years old. The children study a new artist each
week and discover their creativity through a range of visual and performing arts. This summer a few of
the artists we plan to feature include: Monet & the Impressionists, the whimsical sculpture of Calder,
conceptual pop art by Yayoi Kusama and the various styles of Picasso.
Your child will work on diverse projects that reflect core themes in art, drama, music, movement and
critical thinking. We encourage the children to be creative, inventive and hands-on with each project.
The program runs for eight weeks from June 8th to July 31st, from 9am to noon.
Please visit our website for details and registration www.summerartbunchnyc.com or
