Sussex Avenue HSA Week
May 13 - May 17
Monday is a "B" day.

A note from our Co-Presidents

This week will be busy at Sussex Ave School! On Wednesday, t he 4th & 5th Grade Band & Orchestra Concert will take place at 1:45pm. On Thursday evening, we will hold our Spring Family Fun Night parents vs. staff kickball game! Come to play or just watch! Don't miss out on the fun!

The Color Run is now on Friday, May 17th. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we hope to raise $5,000! We are far below our fundraising goal. Currently, we have raised $2,022 based on donations received from only 25% of our Sussex Families. Your contributions are needed for the many programs, activities and support that the Sussex Ave HSA provides to our students, teachers and classrooms throughout the school year. The HSA also funds many end of year activities for the 5th graders including the yearbook, 5th Grade Extravaganza and moving up ceremony. Your help is needed to finish the year strong and to kick-off our next school year as well. No donation is too small! 

Lastly, a huge thank you to Melissa Johnson and the parent volunteers for making last week's Teacher Appreciation Celebration a success!

Have a good week!

Kathleen Kalaher Humbert and Kristin Deleppo
