All donations made to support the Read-A-Thon are one-time lump sum donations that are all made online with credit cards, E Checks and PayPal.

Please reach out to Sonia Jacobson with any further questions.

PTA Happenings!
  • We've secured a date for our Yearbook signing party (June 22 at 6pm if you'd like to mark your calendars), which means there's now a fixed deadline for purchasing your copies - click here to order by May 16, so that they'll arrive in time. 
  • Interested in joining the PTA Board? Email Elda or Maggie to nominate yourself, or another. We need more helpers who are great organizers, or designers, or numbers people, or people people. Especially the people people. Elections will be held at the PTA General meeting, 8.30am on May 23.
  • The gala committee is still tallying our final totals for the auction and preliminary numbers suggest that this year may be a record-breaker!
    While this is fantastic news, we cannot rest on our laurels as we still have work to do to put us in good shape for 2017/18. There are a few more fundraisers planned for the remainder of the year, but we could really use your help now with our Amazon fundraiser which earns us 2.5% on all purchases through Amazon. In order for Spruce to get the kick-back, purchases have to be made directly from this link each time you shop. To make it easier, once you have clicked on the link you can add it to your Bookmarks and rest assured that our school benefits every time you (and anyone you share the link with) spend money with Amazon.
  • You can now purchase a downloadable version of the Gala's Spruce Street Swings video by clicking here.  For $20 you'll get the Gala Edit, a 5-6 minute compilation of all grades, PLUS extended version for every grade PreK through to 7th. Downloadable format will be delivered via email within 48 hours of purchase. 
  • ​Request funding for a Lower Manhattan Pedestrian Traffic Safety and Mobility Study by clicking here.
  • Direct Appeal was launched and each family received a flyer and envelope in their child’s take-home folder. Contribute by clicking here.​​
  • Shop on our Amazon Wish List to help build the Prize Inventory for our Children:We need parents help to build the inventory of prizes to ensure our children receive a prize after every carnival game!  If you would like to contribute to our prize inventory or other props for the event, please access our Amazon Wish List
The Spruce Street PTA believes passionately in inclusion for all members and for all children in our school. If paying fees for any PTA activity creates financial difficulty please reach out directly to our Parent Coordinator, Valerie Salitan, by emailing her at (vsalitan@sprucestreetnyc.org) or calling - 212-266-4800, ext.2.  All requests are handled with discretion and anonymity.
