IMPORTANT NEWS!
September 2008
Dear Kearny Parents and Guardians:
To our new students and families we’d like to say welcome to General Philip Kearny Elementary School, and to our returning students and families, welcome back. Throughout the year your child’s teacher, our school administration and the Home and School Association will be sending home important papers via “backpack express” so be sure to check your child’s backpack everyday so that you don’t miss any of the communications. Also, we will keep the Kearny community informed of on-going activities and events through our Home and School Newsletter, the Home & School Bulletin board (located across from the auditorium), email up-dates and our new Kearny blog – www.kiskearny.blogspot.com. If you would like to receive Home & School emails, please contact Sue White, secretary of the Home and School: suewhitbee@verizon.net
We are also writing, at this time, to encourage you to join Kearny Home and School Association. Our Association is an important asset to our school and is part of what makes Kearny unique among public schools in Philadelphia. Our school provides your child with as many opportunities as it can. The Home and School Association actively participates in fundraising throughout the school year which includes bake sales, school shirt sales, Book Fair, flea markets, and dress down days. Kearny Elementary brings diverse arts and cultural experiences to our children every year. A great deal of our funds are spent on supplying buses so the children can go on school sponsored trips including the Philadelphia Zoo, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Franklin Institute, as well as many others. Kearny also has a unique partnership with the Wagner Free Institute of Science, GeoKids and St. Joseph’s University and due to these partnership, we are able to bring a number of terrific programs to our students.
Your membership dollars are a crucial source of funds for the many programs and activities that we provide to our students. With a minimum contribution of just $5 Home and School membership should be affordable for just about every family at our school, but, if you can, we ask you to please consider increasing your contribution. We hope you will return the membership form with your check made payable to Kearny Home and School Association as soon as possible. Whether you can contribute $5, $25, or more, every family is an important member of the Kearny community.
And, while your financial contributions are important, so is your gift of time and energy. Please volunteer at an event and/or spend time in your child’s classroom. Kearny is a great school. But we all need to do our part to help make Kearny the best school it can be. Parent involvement can make the difference. Let’s all take pride in our school. We hope that as parents, guardians, and caregivers
we can all give a little of ourselves to support our children’s education.
Thanking you in advance.
Sincerely,
Kearny Home and School Association
