Enrichments at PS/IS 217
We can all agree that children only get ONE chance to get a quality education! However, with on-going government funding cuts, each year the school's budget falls short of what the PS/IS 217 administration would like to offer our students. To contribute, the PTA assumes responsibility for 100% of the cost of enrichment programming offered to students in each grade throughout the year.
