According to PS/IS 217 PTA President Nikki Leopold:
The PTA Art Show and Silent Auction was a huge success!! Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the PS/IS 217 parents and staff, we were able to raise approximately $4500 . The money raised will go to the PTA general funds which pays for everything from classroom science supplies to professional development for our teachers. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Roosevelt Island community for coming out in support of our local school. You played a huge part in making this event a success.
Roosevelt Island's Assembly Member Micah Kellner stopped by to participate in the proceedings and speak with PTA President Nikki Leopold
