New York International Children's Film Festival (NYICFF)

Dear Parents,


New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) continues this weekend with even more incredible—international!—films for kids. NYICFF is known for showing films that are more thoughtful than what is generally found at the multiplex. AND these films are rarely available anywhere else—so act now! NYICFF screenings are also a great way to build community—pick a film and go with a group. Even better, our school earns $2 back for every ticket you purchase!


It’s easy:


1. Go to https://nyicff.org/tickets/ to view the lineup (they’ve got programs for all ages from 3-18!)

2. Select your tickets

3. When checking out, please select our school from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the form.


And just like that, our PA earns $2 for every ticket you purchase.


Here are some exciting titles screening this weekend:


https://nyicff.org/events/chickenforlinda/ (With filmmaker Q&A!)

This Cannes darling recently won the César Award (France’s Oscars) for best animated feature. It has all the makings of a classic: mother-daughter drama, sneezing truck drivers, and a full-scale, community-wide search for a chicken.


https://nyicff.org/events/kungfulion/ (With filmmaker Q&A!)

This Chinese and Dutch co-production uses Rotterdam as a vibrant urban backdrop to a story about adolescent rivalries, martial arts, and the challenges of growing up. Featuring amazing Dragon Dance sequences!


https://nyicff.org/events/tobyalone/ (With filmmaker Q&A!)

Based on the beloved French chapter books by Timothée de Fombelle, Toby Alone follows our 1.5mm-tall hero as he fights for the conservation of his tree-dwelling community.

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, March 7, 2024 at 8:45AM.  The topics to be discussed are:

  • Principal welcoming
  • Reading and Approval of Minutes
  • PA Financials: February Treasurer’s Report
  • Upcoming Events
                 Bake Sale – Wednesday, March 6
               Parents/Teachers Conference (virtual) – Thursday, March 7
      5th Grade Graduation Photo – Individual – Thursday, March 14
      5th Grade Graduation Photo – Class – Friday, March 15
      Pre K & Kindergarten Graduation Photo – Individual & Class – Monday, March 18
      Easter Weekend (school closed) – Friday, March 29 to Monday, April 1
      Annual Benefit Banquet – Friday, May 17, 2024

  • 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.    All PS130M parents and guardians are welcome!  See you all at the meetings, held on the first Thursday of every month.

 

Thank you.
