PTA scholarship fund needs you
NARROWSBURG
- The Narrowsburg PTA is once again asking for your help. They have
started their annual campaign to raise money to provide some of
the college bound students with financial assistance.
Last year the
PTA were able to award four scholarships. The total amount awarded
was $3000. Each year the PTA have been able to increase the amount
of money given to the students. It is because of community generosity
that the PTA are able to offer our students this help.
This year's
goal is to once again increase the amount of scholarships given.
Donations will help college bound graduates who have worked hard
and have shown good academic achievement.
Donations can
be sent to Sullivan West/Narrowsburg, Erie Street, Narrowsburg,
NY 12764. Checks should be made payable to the Narrowsburg PTA.
