Dear Friends of Tower,

 Thank you for your patience and support throughout the pandemic! We are grateful for the continued generosity of our community. 

 Despite not having our biggest annual fundraiser, the Dinner Dance, we still funded engineering equipment for the Innovation Lab; an art project that connected Manhasset students with students in Africa; hot spots for families in need; and our annual contribution to teacher grants to further professional development.

 We were hoping to celebrate our schools and community at our Dinner Dance on September 24th. However, after considerable consideration and because the health and safety of our community are paramount, we regret to inform you that our Dinner Dance is canceled. 

 For 2022, we are going to start fresh for our 30th anniversary with a new logo, new website, and new theme. This means we are saying goodbye to “Old Hollywood.” 

 Our Board will continue to work hard to host events (shopping, Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, Bingo) according to guidelines for this upcoming school year. We hope you will join us for these events because we would like to continue to fund initiatives for the purpose of improving the education of our children in the areas of:

·      outdoor picnic tables and seating for enhanced outdoor instruction/lunch

·      science and technology

·      art

·      social-emotional learning/well-being

·      security

If you would like to donate your Dinner Dance tickets to our charity that would help support these initiatives, you do not have to do anything! 

 Each donated DD ticket will receive 10 raffle tickets and 1 auction ticket that will automatically be entered into the respective raffle and auction draws. Sponsorships will receive one extra ticket. Sponsors will be recognized at our next Dinner Dance as well. We will deliver your tickets in a goody bag to your home.
