Outreach with PS 15
Give a Family Christmas
By now you should have received your assignment for gifts. If you have not or if you have any questions you can contact Meredith Roberts here. Gifts are due December 10-17.
Bring in Food Gift Cards
Migrant families staying in the Brooklyn Motor Home do not have access to kitchens or cooking facilities. We would like to get families $25 dollar gift cars to fast food style restaurants (you can buy these type of gift cards at Walgreens). Restaurants to consider are places like Chipotle, Chik-fil-A, McDonalds, etc.
Reader Support
Read one on one with students at PS 15 during the school day. Provide these children this basic opportunity and get to spend some time connecting with others. Email Alyson Campbell here to express interest.
