Fundraisers

P.S. 127 students, teachers and staff participate in numerous fundraising efforts throughout the school year which brings awareness to particular causes. We have found that our fundraising events help our school come together and work towards a common goal. It builds a strong community, highlights important educational skills, and instills a sense of social awareness and moral values in the minds of our youth. In the midst of the pandemic, we are trying our best to continue our fundraising efforts with innovative, virtual ways.

March -

P.S. 127 MATH-A-THON begins on  Wednesday, March 9, 2022 and will continue for 3 weeks, ending on Wednesday, March 30 2022. The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital MATH-A-THON is an educational program designed to supplement the existing curriculum while also teaching students the importance of helping others.

January -

Make-A-Wish Foundation - P.S. 127 will be hosting a Make-A-Wish Foundation Fundraiser Friday, January 14th 2022. For children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses. This impact is why this foundation is driven to make every one of these wishes come true.

Here’s how to participate:

· Use the below link to donate to our school page http://site.wish.org/goto/PS127

· Wear BLUE to school on 1/14/22.

November -

  • The March of Dimes - $626

  • Hats on Day - $447 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

October -

On Tuesday, November 16, 20121 we will be hosting “Hats on Day”. This is a nationwide fundraiser where students make a donation of any amount for the privilege of wearing a hat of their choice to school to help raise cancer awareness. Why hats? Many times, students battling pediatric cancer wear hats to school following chemotherapy or radiation which causes hair loss.

“Hats on Day” has grown to be one of the most influential awareness and fundraising campaigns among school age children.  By participating in “Hats on Day” you are helping make life a little bit easier for these children and their families. We hope you will help support us for this worthy fundraiser and have your child wear a hat to school on November 16, 2021!. 

All donations are always appreciated! All proceeds will go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

  •  Socktober - We will be collecting new socks everyday during the month of October for the Homeless.
  • $150 was raised to support Childhood Cancer or Wear DENIM & PINK to show your support for Breast Cancer
  • Relay for Life - Team Butterflies - Help us Support The P.S. 127 Butterflies/ American Cancer Society by clicking the LINK Team Butterflies.  More details to come in June

Cause-A-Month

This month, for the first time P.S. 127 is joining the Service Learning Project titled “Blankets of Hope”.  We discovered a new way to bring kindness into our classrooms.  Blankets of Hope is an educational 501(c)3 nonprofit that helps students practice empathy & kindness in an impactful service-learning experience.  We are so excited to take part in this project.

 

What does this Project mean to us? 

As student ambassadors, we are taking the lead in helping those who are less fortunate to stay warm during the winter months.  We plan to help with giving them warmth when its cold out by providing them with blankets and a positive personalized note.

 

How does it make us feel?

  1. Proud confident
  2. Sympathetic
  3. Happy
  4. Energetic
  5. Excited

What’s Ahead?

In the month of January, we look  forward to fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
