BFF SPRING APPEAL
Dear Irvington Families and Friends,
While it may be hard to believe, summer is just around the corner. For many kids, that means time for camp - a place to have fun, build relationships and learn new skills. But what do you do if you can’t afford to send your kid to camp?
Did you know that approximately 9% of students in our school system are eligible for free or reduced lunch? For a family of four, that means living on less than $45,510 a year. That means not much money for extras like camp.
The Bulldog Family Fund helps students and families in financial need in our district. This year, 160 students are receiving help through the BFF. That’s more than enough kids to fill an entire grade and works out to approximately two kids in every classroom in Irvington. All families receiving free or reduced lunch are eligible for help from the BFF, as are other families who find themselves in financial need.
Over the last four years, the BFF has provided school supplies, sports equipment, field trip payments, money for book fairs, clothing for prom, winter coats, school clothes, Stop and Shop gift cards, holiday gifts and gift cards, snacks at school, yearbooks, photo day packages, SAT/ACT prep classes, AP exam fees, drivers’ ed, scholarships for town camp, and summer school tuition.
100% of your tax-deductible donation to the BFF goes directly to our students. Please give to the BFF today so we can send students to camp this summer, and make sure all students in our community have the resources to fully participate and succeed in school all year long.
Donations can be made online at: http://www.irvingtonnyptsa.org/bulldog-family-fund.html. Checks made payable to Irvington PTSA (please specify BFF on the memo line) should be mailed to: Irvington PTSA/BFF, PO Box 245, Irvington, NY 10533.
You can make a difference right here in Irvington. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Warmest Regards,
Katie Carron & Delina Codey-Barrachin
