Good evening School 21 community. This message is on behalf of Brian Gray Principal of School 21 . Tomorrow we have two important events. First we have a in person PTA meeting from 3:20 PM to 3:50 PM in the auditorium. We will be voting on this year's PTA executive board. Following the PTA meeting from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM stop by our school cafeteria to experience our student's Environmental Action projects; about 20 minutes. Stop in long enough to see our exhibits. You will not be disappointed in the work that our students have done so far this year. See you there.
