PS19 EVCS is committed to providing each of its 3k through 5th grade students with a balanced academic and social curriculum. In-classroom project work and enrichment classes are critical to achieving this mission. Sadly, public funding does not cover these programs. It falls to the Parents Association to raise the money critical to sustaining art, music, science and performance art enrichment programs and in-class projects. Your generous donation will directly support each child in our school through these important programs.
-
The easiest and most direct way to support our school is to make a one-time or monthly donation to our annual family fund. These donations are tax deductible and go directly to fund art, music, dance, chess, and STEM curriculum for our kids!
