Dear Friends:
Strong Schools – Strong Communities. Powerful words but they describe the essence of The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns. The Foundation was created by forward loooking parents and fostered by local residents. Good schools go hand in hand with vibrant and stable communities, attracting families, encouraging growth, and sustaining local businesses. We are so very lucky to be part of a community that values excellence in education.
The Foundation’s goal is to expose our students to educational experiences that will broaden their perspective in today’s complex world. Recently the Foundation:
*provided summer reading programs for 1st and 2nd graders, dual-language books for
kindergartners, tablets for ELA classrooms and author/illustrator visits.
*funded excursions to Caramoor, the Bronx Zoo, Washington DC, Sunnyside, NY Botanical
Garden, and the SUNY Purchase theater. (College tours were especially popular.)
*enhanced the science/tech curriculum with the solar greenhouse project, explorations in
microbiology, optics/vision program, 3-D model making, and steam-based initiatives.
*incorporated art into everyday activities with a book-making workshop, Jazz Fest, theater arts
productions, song and writing classes, cultural arts assemblies, and dance/movement classes.
Please help us keep our schools and community strong. A fully tax-deductible gift of $25, $50, $100 or more, we will allow us to continue to provide the most innovative and enriching programs for our students. (Click here to donate). I look forward to your response and thank you for all your efforts on behalf of the students in our community.
Sincerely,
Co-presidents Shelly W. Colley
Jan Atkinson & Anne Ocone Executive Director
P.S. Employee matching gifts are always welcome.
