Support the 187 PTO
Annual Dues & Donations Appeal
Dear Parents & Guardians,
​
Welcome to a brand-new school year. Each fall, our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) launches the Dues Drive, and every year your generosity makes magic happen here at PS/IS 187!
​
Last year, thanks to our wonderful community, the PTO raised $75,000. Here’s what those dollars made possible:
​
• 350 students joined after-school programs in arts, sports, science, and more — all PTO-funded.
• Students went on field trips that expanded their learning beyond the classroom.
• Teachers received essential classroom supplies that spark creativity and discovery.
• Our gardening program thrived, giving students hands-on lessons in growth and sustainability.
​
This year, we want to do even more. More after school programming for more students. More tools and resources for our garden. More community-building events that bring us together to strengthen our school.
Your tax-deductible contribution — whether $50 or $150 — has a direct impact on every student. Together we can expand learning, spark creativity, and enrich our community.
​
With gratitude,
The PTO Executive Board
Thank you for helping every student at PS/IS 187 thrive.
