Principal Grassa’s Pawprints 12/9/18

CASP/Tenacity Closed Thursday, December 13th

We will be closing CASP and Tenacity on Thursday, December 13th for just this afternoon so all adults can participate in a school safety training. School safety is our number one priority and we want all adults to have access to this training. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Curley K-8 Auditorium Campaign

The Curley School Parent Council (SPC) is working to raise $25,000 as 2018 comes to an end to make improvements to the auditorium. Given our commitment to the performing arts, we would like to make the following investments:

• New audio equipment including new speakers, amplifier, and supporting gear
• Enhanced lighting
• Sound-enhancing materials for the walls and ceiling
• Repairs to seating on the main floor
• Assess costs and create action plan to restore the balcony to use with new seats and safety railings

We need your support. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Curley K-8’s Auditorium Campaign. Give online via Paypal (www.paypal.me/curleyk8), send number one/check (payable to: Friends of the Curley) to your child’s teacher, or mail your check to: Curley K-8 School SPC, 40 Pershing Road, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 Attn: Curley SPC Auditorium.

We deeply appreciate your support and commitment to revitalizing the Curley School auditorium! Visit Curley Auditorium Campaign to learn more. Thank you!
