A PS88 family in our school community was displaced after a devastating five-alarm fire and is facing the unimaginable—starting over from scratch.

If you’re able to help, any contribution will go directly toward supporting the family as they rebuild and recover. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this post is another meaningful way to help.

Thank you for holding this family in your hearts and showing the strength of our PS88 community. ❤️

As we head into the weekend, we’re still feeling so grateful for the neighborhood spots that show up for our community ❤️

Monday night’s fundraiser at Il Gigante was so special. From the moment families walked in, the space felt warm, familiar, and welcoming. Il Gigante brings the heart of central Italian comfort food to Ridgewood — a true neighborhood trattoria inspired by home-style cooking that’s unfussy, familiar, and delicious — and that same warmth carries through in the way they welcome and care for our community.

Since opening, Il Gigante has been a wonderful addition to Ridgewood. Their generosity in supporting our school helped raise funds for Classroom Micro-Grants and our Spring Fling, directly benefiting our teachers and students. We’re truly grateful for their continued partnership and kindness. 💛

📚SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR

The Scholastic Book Fair is almost here! The Fair will be Monday November 10 through Friday November 14 during the school day (No school/no fair Tuesday 11/11). There will also be a Family Shopping Evening Thursday 11/13 from 4pm-7pm.

✅Parent volunteers are needed! (If you can, please sign up below for one of the shifts!)

✅The easiest way for kids to shop at the Book Fair is with eWallet, which we strongly encourage using for your child! No cash to lose, no worries! Plus family members and friends can add money to your child's eWallet! (See below for more on using eWallet.)

❤️We're happy to say that we will be participating in Share the Fair again this year. These are supplemental funds used to ensure that every child can get a book at the Book Fair. When you are funding your child's eWallet, you can elect to contribute to Share The Fair!

➡️To get started on funding your child's eWallet and learn more about Share the Fair, please go to our PS88 Book Fair Website:

http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/pssenecaschool

🗓️ You will also be able to purchase books from our Fair Website from 11/10-11/23!


⭐️WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

The Book Fair quite literally cannot happen without parent volunteers. If you can, we would love your help, and there are multiple shifts available (morning, mid-day, afternoon).
