		<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>We will vote in our annual budget at the PTA General meeting, Sept. 25, 8:45 am.  At the meeting we will report dues received per grade.  This year, as last year, we suggest $400 per student for this voluntary contribution (any amount is welcome).  Please show your support at whatever level your family means allow.  Our goal: 100% participation in every grade.  </p>
	<p>Some families have sent in checks already (very organized, thank you!!).  Please contribute early in the year, so that we can vote in our annual budget with confidence.  Don’t forget – for CREDIT CARD convenience (or PayPal), use the button on the lower left of the homepage at www.smsparents.org .</p>
	<p>You can also bring checks or pledges (to “SMS PTA”) to CURRICULUM NIGHT (Sept 22nd) or the PTA MEETING (Sept 25th), or you can mail to Special Music School (P.S. 859),  Attn: PTA Treasurer, 129 West 67th Street, NY 10023.
