STUCK FOR A BUCK – Wednesday, April 17 and Thursday, April 18
Have you ever seen someone stuck to the wall? Many of our students did. Last year we had an astounding success and lots of fun taping Mr. Bonilla and Ms. Buckley to the Cafeteria wall, all for a charitable and philanthropic cause!
We are ready to make it even bigger this year. Get ready for two days of fun for your kids. We will host our STUCK FOR A BUCK events Wednesday, April 17 for Grades 3 to 5 and on Thursday, April 18 for Grades Pre-K to 2 and we promise you it will be epic!
Students will have the opportunity to purchase a strip of tape and work together as a school to tape one or two lucky staff members to the wall. Who will be taped this year? Stay tuned for more details!
Because of YOU and everyone at PS 217, we will be one step closer to a world without blood cancers!
