SPECIAL MUSIC SCHOOL FUndraising
Special Music School is a unique public-private partnership between the New York City Department of Education, which supports the academic and intellectual needs of our students, and Kaufman Music Center, which sponsors the music education. Both are essential. There’s no school without the DOE and no music without KMC. As a result, PTA fundraising efforts support BOTH the academic and music sides of the curriculum.
The PTA supports our school's DOE budget by approximately $130,000 per year. The money raised pays for initiatives like professional development, AP course training, technology upgrades, classroom supplies, capital improvements, field trips, graduation events, National Dance Institute (K-5), teacher discretionary funds, community building events, and more.
Your donation to the PTA ANNUAL APPEAL is the sole source of this funding!
We suggest an annual contribution of $400, $800 or $1,200/student. Pay in one lump sum or spread it out over the course of the year. For more info and to make your contribution today, click HERE.
