The Roosevelt Island Youth Program/Beacon has provided a free Roosevelt Island after school program at PS/IS 217 for many years.

Roosevelt Island After School Beacon Program Starts September 8/ School Supply Donations Sought

I saw this flyer posted on the wall of PS/IS 217 notifying Roosevelt Island parents and students that the After School Program will begin on September 8. You can pick up registration forms at the Beacon reception desk. Here is some additional information and contact resources for the Beacon Program from the Roosevelt Island Youth Program.

On another school related matter, blogger Roosevelt Island Dogs is:

asking everyone who has school supply related items that they no longer want or use to donate them. You can also donate new items or gift cards for stores that sell school supplies (such as Staples). You are welcome to write a note or a card to go along with your donation and I am open to suggestions for what schools should be the first to receive donated supplies.

On Tuesday, I will check with management at my building (The Octagon) for permission to set up a secure donation box/area where people can drop off school supply related items and donations during the month of September. Every two weeks I will organize and deliver the items and donations to a school (or hopefully schools {depending on how much is collected}) in need of the supplies.

It would be great if other buildings on Roosevelt Island also set up school supply donation stations as it would only improve the amount of supplies we are able to donate and the amount of schools and students who will benefit from our efforts. If you are interested in joining this effort, please let me know by emailing me at the following address ...
