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.

As requested here is the fundraising meter. As you can see, we are at 40% and half the year has already gone by. We need ideas and form everyone to help us fundraise.
1. Upcoming events – February 2024.
- Bake Sale – Wednesday – 2/7/24. Kids are asking for nori, so if parents can bring in baked goods and nori that would be great.
- Chinese New Year lands on Saturday – 2/10/24

3. The PA Funds these Programs and more
At SLT today we talked about Summer Rising and how it will not be held here at PS. 130 this year. The Summer Rising sites will be at PS. 124, PS. 126, PS. 276 (zoned for PS. 130). It’s a little far away, we are going to see if we can get a shuttle bus. Everything isn’t set yet.
PS. 130 will go under some upgrades on the roof of the kindergarten side and they will be breaking ground in the spring.
We received a $100k ARESO Grant to upgrade our technology, we will be purchasing new computers and equipment.
Lily – where will CPC go? CPC will be at PS. 276 because they do not have a CBO there, so we be there.
Carmen – Will ISS be here? ISS won’t be able to be here either. Maybe they can find or try another school for the summer.
Thank you for coming.
Joe – Any questions or concerns?
Closing time – 9am – next general meeting will be March 7, 2024.

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:
Thank you.
Parents Association
