GoFundMe for Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam

December 8, 2019 - Dear Baruch Families, We are thrilled to announce that after submitting our proposal, we have been granted $10,000 by the Lemelson-MIT foundation! With these funds, we are designing a sustainable washing machine which will be made accessible to homeless students at P.S. 188 where over half the students are homeless.

Giving Thanks to Teachers

November 3, 2019 - One of our traditions is to give each teacher and staff member gift cards at the faculty/staff holiday party. We ask each family to donate gift cards in what ever denomination they are comfortable. The cards are then combined together to give each teachers/staff member the same amount. Some suggestions can be found on this wishlist, but cards from anywhere and for any amount are welcome. AmEx gift cards are also a huge hit. You can also drop off or mail gift cards to the PTA mailbox in the main office. Read More →
