Good evening, families, Here are a few updates for you this week. We hope everyone enjoys their weekend! ***Reminder that school is closed on Friday, 3/29 and Monday, 4/1!*** A note from our Librarian, Ms. Teresa: Dear Ampark Families, It has been an absolute joy to share the magic of stories and books with your children in library classes for the past three years. Ampark is a truly special school, and I feel fortunate to have been a part of this amazing community. Thank you for your support and kindness, and for sharing your wonderful children with me. Their enthusiasm for literature in its many forms has warmed my heart. Ampark has been the perfect place to complete my teaching career, and now I will retire with my last day being Thursday, March 28. I will be moving to Iowa, where I was born and raised, to spend more time with my amazing 93-year-old mom. I take with me happy memories of this gem of a school in the Bronx, and I will remember my time here with fondness and gratitude. My very best wishes to each of you and your families, ❤️ Teresa Teresa Mulvihill Librarian ****Square One Art is Back!!!!**** The deadline for families to order their custom art products online is April 16! All orders will get shipped directly home. If you misplace their catalog, you can email amparkpaparents@gmail.com to get you child's art access code. A portion of all orders goes to the PA to help with funding for all grades. Hello Families,
Thank you to everyone who has sold some chocolate boxes already. We could really use your support as we have 80 boxes left to sell and only 3 weeks left. If you have not yet taken a box we would love for your help. If you would like more boxes please stop by the main office anytime or email Jaime Benjamin at pearyg@gmail.com and she can meet you. Please remember that all payments need to be in by Friday, April 5th. We could possibly extend the fundraiser and will know by March 28th. Thank you again for your support and making this fundraiser possible. All the best, Ampark PA

Happy Friday AmPark Families, We're very happy to share the news about the addition of our newest little AmPark Owl! Bonnie's new little one joined us a couple of weeks early, on January 29th. Both mom and baby are home, healthy, and doing very well. In AmPark's tradition of sharing about identity through our name stories... the baby's name is Ari Morris. His first name, Ari, is Hebrew for lion, which he's already living up to with his strong, clear voice that seems to come from a body far bigger than his <7lbs would allow. His middle name, Morris, is for Bonnie's Great Uncle Morris, who served in the army as an infantryman, dentist, and rabbi to troops in the field during WWII. He was a brilliant doctor and a gentle natured family man who always put service to his family and community above all. Bonnie and her family are sending all of their love to the AmPark family for your support and well wishes. She'll return to AmPark in late March. If you need any support that you would reach out to Bonnie for, please do not hesitate to contact members of the SEL Team (Melissa V, Josie, and Ana), our PC Elvira, APs Francisco & Dr. Singh, or Ms. Meena. You can always find everyone's emails at the click of a button here, on our AmPark At A Glance page. Thank you so much! Reminder that next week we have February Break! School will be closed from 2/19-2/23!
