CHRISTMAS TREE FUNDRAISER

BUY A TREE FROM FOLEY FIRS (8TH ST. & 8TH AVE.) AND MENTION PS 154, AND THEY WILL DONATE TO OUR SCHOOL!

Or order from their websiteβ€”you can get a tree delivered for free, and never have to leave your home.

- super-fresh trees, cut in southern Quebec just 1 week before Thanksgiving
- 3 varieties of trees
- they also sell wreaths and stands
- free delivery and setup

Tell all your friends! They just have to mention the schoolβ€”don't have to have a child at the schoolβ€”and we will still get the money. If we get to 80 participants, they will double their donation!

GREAT NEWS β€” The DOT had a survey car in front of the school this morning and the DOT commissioner is talking with Eric β€” so it's really working, but we have to keep going! Please share our online petition with family and friends.

A special thanks to parents Erin, Gretchen, Nicole and Kent as well as our AMAZING crossing guards for getting so many to sign.
