Dear Friends of MSC:

Celebrate MSC is the annual spring fundraiser for P.S. 333, the ​ School for Children (also known as MSC). As a public school serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade on the , we rely on donations from friends like you to fund major aspects of our curriculum. These include teacher development, supplies for reading, writing, math, and science, as well as core specialties that make our school environment unique, like urban farming, performing arts, and the integration of students with a range of different motor and verbal abilities into a general education setting. You may visit ps333.org to learn more about our school, programs, and students.

Your generously donated items and experiences are essential to the success of our auction. Most donations are auctioned off at our annual benefit, being held this year on March 28, 2015. Hundreds of parents from our school community come to the event and are excited to bid. Other items are hosted in our online auction, which is promoted heavily to our school community and is also open to the public. Your contribution will be acknowledged in our auction catalog, given to all event attendees, and shared via email to all of our parents.

As well as asking for donations, we are also seeking sponsors for the event, and selling ads for the auction catalog. If you are interested in learning more about these opportunities to support our school and gain additional visibility among our parent community, please contact [email protected]. ​
