QUEENS FOR THE DAY
Jun 03, 2010 02:00 am | tracey

Last Thursday Taylor and I had the privilege of spending the morning with a group of amazing moms at PS 186 in Bellrose, Queens; who watched Lucky Ducks and then took part in a two and a half hour Q and A with us afterwards. You heard me, two and a half hours. And it could have gone another two as the hands were still shooting up and we were still talking and the stories kept coming and the sharing continued and if they invited me I would go back tomorrow, except I'm in LA, but I would go next week for sure. It all started when Harriet Cabelly contacted me after Taylor and I hit the cover of The Post. She sent an email and introduced herself as a social worker in the NYC public school system from Queens. She had seen the film and felt in her words. "I think this is a must for all parents to see, certainly in our society today. Because as you say, it starts with the parents." I told her if she gathered a group of parents I would be thrilled to come talk with them. She said being a public school (and we all know how they have been hit) they didn't have funds to pay for speakers. I said I wasn't in this for the money; I made this to reach out and hopefully shine a light. I told her pick a day after Taylor got back from college and we would be there.

Literacy Night - April 15th, 2010

Castlewood students are collecting donations for Heifer International in order to buy goats and other livestock for people in need. The gift of a goat or other livestock will help families by providing food and production of food for sale. One person, one class, or one school that cares can make a difference!

Castlewood Cares!

The families of P.S. 186 donated in excess of $1250.00 to the Mayor's Fund to advance NYC's Haiti Relief Fund!

The City's public notification program, Notify NYC, now sends updates for emergency situations at school and other events that have an impact on the school day by phone, text message, or e-mail to parents and guardians who sign up for the service. The service updates parents about delayed school openings and early dismissals, student relocations, and temporary school closures related to weather or other unexpected events. Parents and guardians can choose to receive alerts for up to five zip codes, and will receive notifications about schools within those zip codes. Please encourage parents to sign up either by visiting www.nyc.gov/notifynyc or by calling 311.
