A Message from AGATE’s Co-Presidents
| Happy Spring! We hope you all had a wonderful Easter Weekend! Budget Season is in full swing, and we are following the process closely and directing our advocacy to help ensure that the PEP program, including Whole Class Enrichment for grades K-5 and Core Group for 4th-6th grades, stays intact for the 2024-2025 school year. We encourage you to join us at the upcoming BOE meetings or be sure to view them on the district’s youtube channel. We hope to see many of you at the Ed. Foundation Spring Gala, “An Enchanted Evening,” on Friday, April 5th where AGATE will be one of the honorees along with our other parent partner organizations. This fun celebration is sure to include great food and drinks, silent auction items, and amazing raffles! Please join us for our next Connecting Over Coffee on Thursday, April 11th at 12pm on Zoom. It will be a great opportunity to discuss the budget challenges our district faces and how we have been advocating on behalf of PEP and the needs of advanced learners in this year’s budget. Looking forward to seeing you there! All the Best, Nancy Ziselman and Elizabeth Milbank Sobel AGATE Co-Presidents |
