A letter from Ms. D’Avilar, mailed to PS 9 parents
Parents, Due to our astronomical budget cuts we are currently in jeopardy of losing ALL of our Arts programs. We are in dire need of funds which will allow us to continue providing our children with these enriched programs for our coming school year. We ask that you kindly indicate the amount of money you will be donating towards the Public School 9 Arts Program. We know that you will support our cause since research and our continuous progress show that children who are exposed to a well rounded educational experience, excel and perform well in school. Despite such horrible budget cuts this year, it is still our goal to continue to provide our children with the best possible educational experiences, individualized instruction and enrichment activities.
Attached you will find a flyer advertising our Second Annual Silent Auction. This event is being held in order to help raise money for our Arts Programs. Your commitment to our school, along with our educational philosophy will allow us to carve a true place of “Realized Potential”. Kindly refer to the attached Arts Donation form and indicate the amount of money that your family will be donating to our CAUSE. I look forward to working collaboratively with you as we create an exceptional learning institution for our children.
Your Partner In Education,
Sandra D’Avilar
