THE PTA’S FUNDRAISING GOAL FOR 2011-2012 IS $194,500.This is the main revenue source for our budget to fund a variety of important school programs. With lots of hard work and event organization by our volunteers, and generous donations from all families, we raised $185,000 last year. The PTA fully funded the Third Street music and arts education program and helped the school keep class size small. We also made numerous student programs and activities possible, funded teacher and student travel costs, subsidized the cost of many college transfer office programs, and made more than $25,000 worth of books available to our students.Every dollar contributed to the PTA directly benefits current BHSEC Manhattan students and families…
