At P.S 503, our priority is making sure we're able to give our fifth graders the tools they need to learn and grow to successfully transition to middle school.

As our students approach the end of their elementary school careers, we want to help create a meaningful and memorable fifth-grade experience for them. Our school is made up of 150 diverse fifth graders each posing his or her own story. Every student is unique and plays an important role in our school community. These students have experienced hardship, loss and financial challenges in their lives.

We are writing to you today to ask for your assistance in reaching our goal of raising 6,000 dollars to create a senior picnic with games, activities, music, food and priceless memories for our fifth graders.
