Welcome to our 45th Friends of Penn Treaty School (FoPT) email update! We hope that this email helps you stay informed and get connected with all the great things going on!*
- Game Night TONIGHT!—Started by a Penn Treaty alumnus, Tyler Adam, our monthly game night provides free fun for all ages. This month we are adding chess as a game option! This is a teen-friendly & family-friendly event. Bring a game, snack, or friend, or just bring yourself! (Circle of Hope, 2007 Frankford Ave. 19125 6-9pm)
- 250+ more books in our school library!—Yesterday our partner, IntegriChain (http://www.integrichain.com/), delivered over 250 books that their employees donated to our school library! Special thanks to the students who helped carry, organize, stamp, & shelve the books. We didn’t need to shelve them all, however, because students checked some out! Our favorite quote overhead by a student who went on to check out the book: “This book looks intriguing!”
- Call for HELP on Friday, March 31!—Penn Treaty School has asked us (FoPT) to clean & organize science materials so that teachers can find what they need & students can use them. This is not a glamorous task, but it IS an important one. Please consider volunteering for a morning slot (9:30am – 12:45pm) or afternoon slot (1:15pm – 4:30pm) or come when you can. If you work on Friday, consider taking a half-day to help us out! Gloves, masks (if desired), trash bags, & lunch provided. Must bring ID to enter school. You can RSVP on our Facebook event or reply to this email.
- Ongoing needs—
- Evening dresses, shoes, accessories, menswear for prom
- BoxTops
- Volunteers in our library (organizing books, joining book club)
- Mark your calendars for the 2nd Annual FoPT Flea Market & Craft Sale!—We are excited to announce that it will take place on Saturday, June 3, 2017 (with rain date on Sunday, June 4). Stay tuned for info about how to participate, volunteer, etc.!
- 6.This week’s friend of Penn Treaty School—This week’s friend of Penn Treaty is IntegriChain, a local data analytics company focused on providing guided analytics to their customers in the Life Science industry on their cloud driven platforms. Since becoming our partner, they have helped sponsor coding classes at Penn Treaty, participated in the school’s 12+ career fair, and just this week donated 250+ books to our library. We can’t thank you enough for your active & ongoing investment in the education of our city’s youth!
Sincerely,
Brooke & Bethany, co-leaders of FoPT
