Springtime Eggstravaganza
Dear PS 251 Families,
Spring is almost here, and we are excited to celebrate together with our upcoming PS 251 Springtime Extravaganza on Friday, April 17th!
This school-wide celebration will include a fun Math Egg Hunt, where students will search for eggs, solve grade-level math challenges, and work together to find the special Golden Egg for a surprise prize.
Our goal is for every student to participate and leave with a treat, and we would love the support of our school community to help make this event extra special.
We are kindly asking families who are able to donate one of the following nut-free items:
Suggested Donations
- Individually wrapped nut-free candy (chocolate is welcome)
- Chips (individual snack-size bags)
- Popcorn (individually packaged)
- Small toys or novelty prizes
Please ensure that all donated food items are nut-free and individually wrapped for student safety.
If you are able to contribute, please send donations with your child by Monday, April 13th so we have enough time to prepare.
Donations can be given to your child’s teacher or dropped off at the Main Office.
Thank you for helping us create a joyful and inclusive celebration for our students. We truly appreciate your continued partnership and support.PS251 -The Paerdegat School -
