Dear parents,
We have revised the schedule for the Spring Concerts, which will be happening this Wednesday, June 11. The performer list is as follows:
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CONCERT (9am)
MIDDLE SCHOOL CONCERT (1pm)
We apologize for the late notice, but due to the success of the Musical Flat Stanley, we thought that it is something that should be shared with a larger audience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at jeffrey.c.quinto@gmail.com, or by phone at (212)942-3440 ext. 1122.
On Friday 06/06 at 6pm, our 278 students put on a wonderful production Flat Stanley – The Musical! Mrs. Kaufman’s and Mr. Quinto did a tremendous job co-directing and the students, staff and teachers worked so hard to bring these characters to life! Check out a reprise of the performance at the Spring Concert on June 11th at 9am.
The PTA is sponsoring the 5th grade trip this year! The students will be at a performance on Friday, June 13th from 10-12pm at the B’way Comedy Club:Improv for kids!

Dear Volunteers, Teachers, Staff and Parents of 278,
Words cannot fully express our gratitude to all of you for making Spring Fair 2014 the best spring fair yet!
The success of an event like this isn’t just measured in dollar signs. It’s measured in the level of community involvement on both sides of the event-bringing our families together and celebrating our community as a whole! This year we saw more Middle School Student, Teacher, and Staff participation than ever before. Our initial volunteer grid was enlarged instantly on the day by community members willing to dive in and help wherever they were needed. The generosity and initiative of our community members brought in the most donations of raffle items and event sponsorships ever in spring fair history!
Because of these elements, we were able to cut our expenses and more than double our profits from last year! You and the other incredible member of the 278 community are responsible for the Spring Fair’s overwhelming success!
We look forward to seeing you at Spring Fair 2015!
With Sincere Thanks,
Annie and Susie
Spring Fair 2014 Co-Chairs
If any parent would like to join the cafeteria volunteer pilot program- we are meeting Tuesday June 10 at 11:15. It will run through Friday June 20th. Please contact Sarah Townley for more info. sarahtownley9@gmail.com or text 917-674-2830
Did you notice that we now have 12 windowboxes? Two have the test flowers and the rest are ready for planting by the kids if that plan works out. We need volunteers to water them each day with a watering can!
Happy spring.
Sixteeen members of the PS/MS 278 school community attended District 10 Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez’s “State of Northen Manhattan and Marble Hill” address on Sunday afternoon.
