April means a lot of things in New York (baseball, rain, cherry blossoms), but for parents of children between 4 and 8 years old it means lottery and test results. Where will your child attend school next year? For Success Academy, re-enrollment forms are due April 29.

Thank you Illona Bobritsky and Elena Gorohovsky!
This month also brings PCEC elections for the 2016-2017 school year. New positions have been created to be sure next year is filled with the play-dates, outings, and cultural events that helped make our community more vibrant this year. The PCEC decided families should elect people to be in charge of creating and managing those tasks. These elected positions will not be part of the Executive Committee, but they will represent the Parent Council and be a resource for our families, who hopefully will bring some fresh and exciting ideas to the next school year. You do not need to run for an elected position in order to be involved, though. There is plenty of work to do this year! Cultural celebrations, Teacher Appreciation Week, Talent Show, Spring Performance, Art Show, and end-ofyear classroom parties will all need volunteers. Check out sabhfamilies.com to learn how you can help—because everything is better when we work together.
