A Message from our PA President
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are so excited about the upcoming Senior Dances! Over 3/4 of our Senior class have RSVP'd to attend. A few of the parent volunteers toured the brand-new location recently, and it is even more magnificent than we had envisioned. It's going to be a magical night!
We are also proud that up until now, we have been able to meet all the financial aid requests of every student so that NO ONE will be excluded from attending the Senior Dance for financial reasons. We know this has been a devastating year for so many, and we are grateful that the Parents Association voted to generously fund the Financial Aid.
Unfortunately, because the need has been so great, our aid budget is almost depleted. Yet, we do not want to turn away even one student. To allow us to continue to meet the needs of our Seniors, we are asking our LaGuardia community to consider donating to the Senior Dance fund to help support any additional students and make it available to anyone requesting to attend.
If you would like to make a donation, please consider donating by clicking the button below. No donation is too small (or too big!). In the memo, please also mention, "2021 Dance."
We are forever grateful for the generosity of our LaGuardia community.
Sincerely,
Melissa Scott
