Dear Families,
At NY.ICE, we believe that a great education is about more than what happens during the school day, it’s about creating a thriving community where all students have access to opportunities to create, explore, perform, travel, experiment, and discover what they’re capable of becoming.
That is why the Annual Fund matters.
The Annual Fund provides critical support for the experiences and resources that make NY.ICE such a special school. It is the largest, most equitable mechanism we have because anyone can participate. Your participation helps keep our community strong, our programs vibrant, and our students engaged.
The PTA is asking families to contribute $750 per student for the 2026–27 school year, with a fundraising goal of $100,000.
Reaching this goal allows us to accomplish everything in our budget from continually providing classroom supplies, supporting our sports, clubs, music, and arts programs as well as new items like investing in new science equipment.
That goal amounts to less than a third of our school community making a donation for the full amount.
We know that every family’s circumstances are different. So, if $750 isn’t possible, please give what you can. A gift of any size makes a difference—and reaching 100% participation is just as important to us as the amount raised.
HOW TO GIVE
Make a one-time gift
A gift of $750 per student helps the PTA provide the additional resources and experiences that enrich our children's education throughout the year.
That’s less than $65 a month—and it can make a meaningful difference across our entire school community.
Make a transformative gift
If you are able to make a larger contribution, your generosity can help us fund important initiatives earlier in the school year and give the PTA greater flexibility to respond to student needs.
$2,500 can help expand programming
$5,000 can help offset the cost of experiential trips
$10,000+ can make a significant contribution toward investments like new science equipment and technology improvements
Give monthly
Monthly giving makes it easy to support NY.ICE throughout the year and can be easier than a one-time donation. Consider setting up a monthly donation today!
$62.50/month is the monthly recommended contribution
And remember: every gift counts. No amount is too small, because when our entire community participates, those gifts add up to something extraordinary.
With Gratitude for your Generosity!
