2020 spring GALA
Dear Booker T Community,
After discussion among our PTA Executive Board and Dr. Elster, we have decided that we will not hold our March 21 UPTOWN JAZZ Spring Gala & Auction.
With the COVID-19 concerns evolving so rapidly, we felt it was the responsible thing to do at this point.
We are all disappointed to miss this community event. We are looking forward to scheduling another one as soon as possible.
However, we are GOING FORWARD with the Online Auction. In fact, we're working on ways to make it bigger and better than ever.
As originally planned, the Online Auction will go live tomorrow, March 12, at 8 am. Please click HERE to check out the Online Auction. Please visit often. And please share this link with your families, friends, and community. Help spread the word about this fundraising opportunity and all it does for our school community.
In order to offset the lost revenue to the school, we have made it possible to continue to “order tickets” to the party, which will now be considered a charitable donation.
If you would like the cost of your event ticket reimbursed please reach out to us HERE.
With gratitude for our entire school community.
Please stay safe and healthy,
Chris Giordano
On behalf of the Booker T PTA
Please note: Your contributions to the PTA help supplement the resources necessary to support the broad range of needs of our school community, including a full-time librarian, special needs coordinator, homework help, the summer bridge program, music offerings, language classes, and more.
In our effort to connect the needs of the teachers, staff, and administration with the parent body we have created the Giving Tree. Stay tuned as we prepare to roll it out online.
If you have any additional questions, thoughts or ideas, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at co-presidents@ms54pta.org.
