A Note From The Presidents - Edgemont PTA

EDGEMONT DISTRICT PTA JUNE 10, 2011
School Supply Drive and Nature Trail
Hi! I’m Kahlil D’Souza, a 10 th grade EHS
student and I am collecting school supplies for
the children of St. Joseph’s home and
Muktangan school in Mumbai, India.
(www.muktanganedu.org) Muktangan provides
basic education to under privileged children in
the slums of Mumbai. I have taught classes at
Muktangan and I’m looking forward to getting
these supplies to the kids.
Please donate new and gently used supplies (pens, pencils, color pencils,
markers, erasers, sharpeners, crayons, pencil cases, note cards, flash cards and
other teaching aids).
There is a specially marked box at the main office for drop off till the last day of
school.
Thank you for your generosity.
On another note, for my Eagle Scout Service project I created a nature trail at
Seely school with the support of Troop 4 Scarsdale. We cleared the trail of
garbage and debris and set up plaques with information about the plant life along
the trail. We also laid down woodchips
donated by Ramiro Tree Service and
the Edgemont grounds department.
The walk is quick and great for kids so
please go check it out! The trail starts
at the far end of the parking lot to the
left of the school. Remember to stay
on the trail and have fun!
