As New York City weathers an unprecedented health crisis, a Stuyvesant community used to rallying together to face adversity has been forced to improvise from afar. Now, the Parents Association needs your help ... from your home computer or cellphone.
The 2020 Spring Feast, a major fund raiser, has been cancelled as social distancing has become essential to easing the crush on the New York health care system. As a consequence, the PA is facing a shortfall just as our faculty and students need the help more than ever.
So, we’re improvising. We’ve extended the Spring Feast Online Auction through April 21st It’s your chance to make some much needed donations — while winning some amazing prizes. Among the hundreds of items and experiences up for grabs at a fraction of their market value:
* A one-hour personal college consultation with Caroline Koppelman, founder of the Koppelman Group, a college admissions consulting firm with a tremendous record of success. * A 90-minute facial at the luxurious Guerlain Spa in the prestigious Plaza Hotel.
* An extremely rare 1 oz. gold coin released by the British Royal Mint to commemorate the Chinese Year of the Mouse, a priceless piece of craftsmanship that's .99999 gold. * A fully customized family portrait session taken by one of the best professional photographers in the business. Your bids and donations are about more than taking home great prizes at great value; they provide valuable resources to our students. Last year, the fund raising initiatives from the Stuyvesant Parents Association delivered computers for the chemistry and physics labs, tournament fees for school sports teams, diploma cases for the graduating seniors, books for the library, coaching for the speech and debate team, supplies for the administration offices, and much, much more.
So, please visit the online auction and help make the student and faculty of Stuyvesant the real winners. Please stay safe and healthy!
