Welcome to Pre-K and Kindergarten Picnic

Kick off the school year with a fun potluck picnic. Join us at Washington Market Park in early September. Come meet new families and catch up with old friends. The PTA Executive Board will also be there to introduce themselves, as will the wonderful Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers. It's a way to make the transition to school easier and more relaxing for both children and adults.

Artware by You

Your child's artwork transferred to your choice of a wide range of items – just in time for the holidays. Mugs, aprons, mouse pads, note cards, calendars, t-shirts, caps – there is something for everyone. A great fundraiser that also answers the question – what will we get for Grandma this year?

Taste of Tribeca WOW!! What an event this is. Without a doubt, it’s the most scrumptious outdoor food tasting party in the city. Local restaurants set up shop along Greenwich and Duane Streets to share their fare. Music fills the air. Kids can enjoy arts and crafts activities. This is an all-day event for the whole family, extended family that is. We also produce and sell a cookbook featuring some delectable recipes from the Taste’s participating restaurants. The Taste is our biggest annual fundraiser. To participate, you buy tickets to redeem at any restaurant table for tasty treats. This began years ago as a leading-edge private/public partnership to raise funds for enrichment programs at the area schools. Founded by ECC parents in conjunction with local restaurants/food purveyors. We invited P.S. 234’s participation and it’s been a cooperative event ever since. The Taste happens in May each year.

Auction

The annual auction is probably the second biggest fundraiser for our school. The owners of Chanterelle on Harrison St. have been gracious enough to donate their restaurant and some of the most luscious food south of Canal Street to us the past several years. It is an elegant adult-only evening, where you get to sip wine and have some bidding fun. Donations can include anything from a week stay at a Swiss chalet, a movie and ice-cream for your child with one of our fun and entertaining teachers, membership to NY Sports Club, to the ever popular class projects, created by each class at TLC. This event usually happens on a Sunday evening in March. Relatives, friends, shopaholics are all welcome. Tickets are $20-25.

Scholastic Book Fairs

The lobby of TLC transforms into a children's bookstore about twice each year. Scholastic Books are on sale. Buy them for birthdays, holidays, “any day is a good day for a book day” or fulfill the wish lists of teachers and librarians. Encourage your children to read and raise funds for the school at the same time.

Bake Sales

Whether school-wide or sponsored by one class, bake sales are a tried and true fundraiser. You can expect two or three of these a year. Brownies, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, coffee cakes – you name it, we bake it. One of the most popular sellers are our festive goodie bags. Items go on sale before drop-off and after pick-up. Corporate orders are honored too!

Rummage Sales

Every year we prove that old adage – “one man's trash is another man's treasure”. Empty your closets of those old things that have been hanging around and put them on sale before drop-off and after pick-up. This fundraiser takes place at least once, sometimes twice a year.
