On April 3rd, the Sunset Park community experienced a heartbreaking 6-alarm fire on 44th Street. The fire destroyed many homes and displaced more than 50 families, including our wonderful ENL Teacher Sedina Montoya’s mother, Cindy, a newly retired Department of Education educator.

In the spirit of our P.S. 295 family, we are coming together to raise money to help Sedina and her family rebuild. 100% of all donations will go directly to Cindy. Please give what you can, no donation is too small. Let’s show our support for this amazing family.

GoFundMe: bit.ly/2G2lkRV

Other ways to donate:
PayPal Pool: paypal.me/pools/c/8dF2dQxwEK
Venmo: venmo.com/RebeccaStein438 (mark donations "Cindy Rosas")
Cash: Sergio will also accept cash donations, to go directly to Cindy.

If you would like to contribute a monetary donation or a Gift Card, please email fundraiser@ps295.org or you can contact Maria Fusilero (fusilero.maria@gmail.com) or Rebecca Stein (reb.stein@yahoo.com).

CROSSING GUARD APPRECIATION SURVEY - Due May 10th

It’s that time again! Crossing Guard Appreciation Day: Salute Your Favorite Crossing Guard

We’re looking toward the end of the school year and all of the people who get thanks. Crossing guards are often the unsung heroes who keep families safe and who, many times, are overlooked during end-of-the-school-year festivities. So in 2014 PSP started a Crossing Guard Appreciation Day for the guards in the 78th precinct. It spread to the 72nd in 2017 and we're told that there is a NYC-wide appreciation happening this year!

Let us know about your favorite crossing guards on this short form: bit.ly/CrossingGuardShoutOutForm2019

Sierra (19th & 6th)
Carmelina (18th & 6th)
Maribel (19th & 7th)
Sandra (18th & 7th)

Also-- HELP US OUT, forward this message to:
--Your children’s class email lists
--Your block associations
--Other online groups
--Anyone that comes into contact with a crossing guard!
