Dear Parents and Guardians of Pre-K to 5 Graders,

The Parents Association plays an important role in our school by supporting the initiatives of the Principal and administration. The PA serves as the main information center for many parents unfamiliar with the Board of Education and our school. We are responsible for the many annual fundraising events, school parties, book sales, workshops and school fairs; which helps pays for all the art programs and administrative things that are not covered by the Board of Education or Department of Education (DOE). None of this would be possible without your participation and support.

There will be a Parents Association General Meeting for all in the auditorium on Thursday, April 3, 2025 at 8:45AM. The topics to be discussed are:

Principal welcoming

Reading and Approval of Minutes

PA Financials: March Treasurer’s Report Upcoming Events:

• Bake Sale – Wednesday, April 9

• Inside Broadway - 2nd grade finale - Thursday, April 10

• Deadline for banquet journal ads - Friday, April 11

• Spring Recess (school closed) – Monday, April 14 to Friday, April 18

• Deadline for benefit banquet RSVP - Monday, April 21

• NYS ELA test (4th & 5th grades) - Tuesday, April 22 - Wednesday, April 23

• NYS ELA test (3rd grade) - Tuesday, April 29 - Wednesday, April 30

• Parents Association General Meeting - Thursday, May 1

• Annual Benefit Banquet – Friday, May 16 - Principal's remarks/announcements

Any parent issues, questions or proposals

Please join our meetings! Your participation and support play a vital role to our school and students.

Minutes to PS 130M General Meeting

February 13, 2025

Attendance: Lisa Wong, Yvonne Moy, Amy Hu, Joseph Li, Lily Wai-Lee, Ramiro, Jennie Yin, Angela Mui, Mr. Fong, Carmen, Yuki, and 10 other participants (see sign in sheet, in person)

Meeting Commence: 8:50am

Translator: Lily – Chinese – Ana - Spanish

Joseph Li – Co-President

Joe – Welcome back. Happy Lunar New Year (also says it in Chinese). I hope everyone had a good Lunar New Year.

Mr. Fong – I have to rush to a zoom but I wanted to say the Lunar New year show was great! The Assembly woman Grace Lee came to our show on her birthday. She was the one who pushed for us to get the Lunar New Year Holiday off at the state level. At SLT we discussed that there are certain gaps in wit & wisdom. The teachers are working hard to cover those gaps. We encourage all the kids to read different genres, especially 4th & 5th graders. This Sunday will be the Lunar New Year parade, rain or shine, it will happen. I will be on a virtual retreat during the parade. Thank you for everything. In SLT we talked about NYC Rise 529 accounts for kids starting in kindergarten to third grade. It’s a program that the city started, and all these kids get $100 into their 529 program by signing up. My wife asked me if we signed up for our son and that’s why I asked at SLT. Its free money and that $100 can turn into $600 by the time they graduate. We will have Ana do a small workshop about this. People can also donate $ into your child’s 529 accounts. Right now, only 30% of the parents at our school has login to setup accounts to receive the Kids rise 529 account.

Today’s agenda is:
