Principal remarks:
Mr. Fong – Good morning, today our 5th graders are at Tweed courthouse for May’s AAPI; the chancellor will be there. Thank you to the PA, Lisa, and the 5th graders for dancing there. Thank you, parents, for all your support and donations for the arts. In 2 weeks, Rosie theater will have a performance with our kids. They had a benefit and raised over $100k; it was great to see our old kids and families there. All due to their foundation of arts from PS. 130.
A lot of events are coming up in May. Happy Mother’s Day, we appreciate all the moms right Charlie? Monday, we start entering through the front door.
My son is going to college soon and he is choosing B.U.
Elias won 4th place in Chess in the Nationals. So proud of them. Thanks to parents like Sally for bringing Chess into the school.
Thank you and let us know if you need anything.
