PS 8's Annual Spring Auction
Thursday, April 10, 2008
7:00 PM to 9:30 PM
Plymouth Church
75 Hicks Street
Brooklyn , NY 11201
The event will be held in Hillis Hall.
The Spring Auction is our single largest fundraising event. Proceeds from the Auction go to pay for our teaching assistants and cover the costs of our enrichment program. To buy tickets to the event, click here.
PS 8's enrichment program allows us to expand our core curriculum by adding art, dance, chess, science and many other valuable classes that enrich our children's education, spark their imaginations and demonstrate the value of a good education beyond report cards and standardized tests. The funding we receive from the City falls far short of what it costs to run these programs. However, the PTA of PS 8 is committed to raising the funds so that we can continue to enhance our curriculum by working with organizations like the Guggenheim Museum, Marquis Studios, Chess in Schools and Bargemusic.
