Donations – Parent Letter

January 17, 2020

Dear PS 101 Families:

With the recent sad news of the fire across the street from our school and learning five of our 101 families reside there, many of you have expressed high interest and genuine concern for helping those in need in making monetary donations. The families are currently displaced and staying at relatives or elsewhere right now until the building is cleared secure by the Building’s Department- structurally. Once they are allowed back to their apartments, they can truly assess what damage has been made to their homes and belongings.

If you wish to make a monetary donation at this time, kindly submit your contribution in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and class. Any monies collected will be split evenly to the five affected families and we will purchase a gift card to Kohl’s or a local store so the family can use towards what they need.

Collections will begin effective immediately.

Thank you for the 101 way and for your caring hearts to help the families in need.

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol

Principal

Multicultural Display Case – Parent Letter

January 9, 2020

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We need your help with a very special project…

We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating various cultures throughout the school year to bring even more awareness to the diversity and connection we all share in PS 101.

Celebrating different cultures will help students understand and appreciate various cultures, as well as their own, highlighting both differences and common interests.

Across from the main office is a display case that will be used to showcase cultural heritage. Each month we will display artifacts that showcase and honor a culture. At the end of the month, we will change the display to celebrate a different culture.

This is where we need your help!

We are asking parents to lend any artifacts or items they may have that represent the culture that we are celebrating for that month. There will be a collection box located in the main office where you can drop off your items throughout the month. Please label your item with your child’s name and class, so the item can be returned to you at the end of each month.

Items that we are looking to collect for the display case should symbolize your culture by representing:

• Pictures of Food
• Artwork
• Personal pictures from the country where that culture is prevalent
• Currency
• Flag
• Music
• Sports
• Landmarks
• Traditions
• Literature

We are we are now collecting items for the month of February to celebrate Black History Month. Please drop off your labeled items in the main office cultural collection box.

Thank you for involvement and dedication!

Sincerely,

The P.S. 101 Multi-Cultural Team
