Spooktacular Pictures are Up!

Sean Ross, father of Hannah (5th) and Joaquim (2nd) took (and set up, and ran, and equipped)  the photographs at the Spooktacular.

It's not an exaggeration to say they are fantastic, phenomenal, and all other superlatives.

You can see them here, and download what you want to print or have.

Lend a Helping Hand!

PS 39’s Halloween Party Needs to Scare Up Volunteers

The PS 39 Halloween Party makes the celebration at The Hotel Transylvania look like kids’ stuff. That’s because we have our amazing students dressed to thrill, and our dedicated parents providing a helping hand (much like “Thing” from The Addam’s Family, pictured above).

In addition to an off-the-hook DJ (who will be the first to request “Call Me Maybe”?), we’ll be offering up pizza, hot dogs, meatballs, monster mash and more.  Everyone will make a sugar rush for the bake sale; what’s more, a fortune teller and a cupcake-decorating table will add to the already amazing event.

There will be a raffle with incredible prizes (hear tell – a pizza-making night for a family of four at the new Brooklyn Central Pizza).

In addition, PS 39 dad Jim Seger’s awesome decorations will make the scene like always.

Of course, this party is not run by The Invisible Man. We need live bodies to keep the action going before, during and after the bash. We also need bakers for the bake sale (the more, the merrier).

The volunteer opp is open to all warm-blooded humans, as well as the walking dead and creatures of the night. Please contact Dara at darasf@yahoo.com or Jim at jdseger@gmail.com if you can help out.

We’ll see all you boys and ghouls at John Jay High School on Saturday evening, October 27, from 5:30-9 p.m.

We need to scare up some volunteers for the P.S. 39 Halloween party

It’s still not too late for you to throw your witch’s hat into the ring as a volunteer for the upcoming Halloween Party on Saturday, October 29th (from 6-9 at John Jay High School).

If you’ve attended one of these spookfests before, you know that it will be off the hook. There is music, dancing, fabulous raffles, pizza, hot dogs and other tasty treats. And don’t forget to give serious thought to the costume contest. The competition, as always, will be intense.

The scarabration is being helmed by Dara Federman and Jim Seger, but we need volunteers to haunt the party room as early as 3 p.m. for set up. Jim has some amazing decorations ready to go, but we need folks who are comfortable climbing ladders and hanging things.

Also in urgent demand: baked goods and snacks to be contributed, as well as help for setting up food and beverage tables, selling tickets, and judges for the costumes contest.  And there is also a need for the good-old clean-up once the party’s over (if that’s possible!).

Can’t hardly wait! As Caspar the Friendly Ghost would say, “be seein’ ya!”

To volunteer, please email Dara at: darasf@yahoo.com
