Please log on to EF Tours and enter Paideia 15's Code 2926475TP. You can always reach out to me @ Mgleeson@yonkerspublicschools.org or call me at 914-376-8645.

Our Annual Paideia 15 Halloween Parade is tomorrow, Friday October 30 @ 1:45 p.m. Students may be signed out with their class on the field afterwards.

The Kindergarten Halloween Sale is happening tomorrow, October 29th, and Thursday, October 30th during all lunch periods!

…and more!
All items are priced between $1 and $3, and all proceeds will go toward the Kindergarten field trip(s).
Let’s make this Halloween sweet and help support our Kindergarteners’ next big adventure!
Thanks for supporting our fellow Paideia 15 students and teachers! 🕸️👻🎃
We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the patience of our staff, families, and YPS community as we resolve this matter.

I am reaching out on behalf of the Paideia 15 PTA Board to ask for your help! Our biggest fundraiser of the school year is starting on Wednesday, October 8th! Last year this fundraiser brought in roughly $8,000 with participation from only 40 families out of the entire school (500+). Can you imagine how much we could raise if even half of our school community was involved?
The proceeds from this fundraiser will make a tremendous impact and will allow us to continue to bring programs, events, materials, resources and all "the extras" to ALL students in our school. Some programs and events that are funded by our fundraising efforts include:
Scholastic magazine & supplemental materials for the entire school;
Science Dad;
Greenberg Nature Center;
Back to School BBQ;
Reptile Man;
Fall Fest events;
Frosty Playdate;
The Brain Show;
Crime Scene Investigation;
Dental Presentation;
Mobile Ed Productions: Forces & Motion;
Mobile Ed Productions: Earth Dome;
Field Day enhancements (Bubble Bus and supplies);
AND MORE TO COME!*
These are just some of the programs funded by the PTA. We would like to do even more, but it's only possible if we have more support from our families.
There is no physical inventory to manage and nothing that parents have to do--simply download the app from your mobile device, create a pop up store, and share with friends, family members, coworkers, etc. Our fundraising event code is DND DSJ.
Thank you so much for your partnership and support. Together, we can make this the most successful fundraiser yet!
Sincerely,
Amanda Innabi
President
Paideia 15 PTA

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 1, is Yankee Day at Paideia 15!
