Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal Daryl Blank.
We have an exciting week ahead with
multiple student showcases.
First up is our Holiday Windows
unveiling this Wednesday, December 14.
This windows unveiling is part of our partnership with Barney’s New York
and their Creative Ambassador Simon Doonan.
The unveiling in at 6:00 pm in the school lobby. Our Fashion Design students have the Fashion
Show, our Graphics and Illustration students have the Senior Art Show and this
showcase event is a big deal for our Visual Merchandising students.
Then on Friday, December 16, it would
be wonderful if you and your family could attend our SING musical performance. SING is a fun and
exciting musical competition show that is written, produced, performed and
designed by our students. Students are
involved in SING in many different ways including set & costume design,
dancing, singing, acting, musical performance, script & songwriting, and
marketing. There are two shows this Friday, one at 4:30 pm and the other at
7:30 pm. Our SING Coordinator,
Ms. Vega, and our students have been rehearsing non-stop and we need to support
their efforts – bring friends and families as we celebrate the performing arts
at HSFI!
Every
week I am going to highlight the ways in which our HSFI families can volunteer
to support the school. Next week, the
student government has two events on Thursday, December 22, that we could use
help with. First, is Henna Day where we
have some students doing henna for their classmates. We need assistance selling tickets and
monitoring participation – the time frame is from 10:30 am – 2:00 pm. The second is the HSFI Showcase where our
performance groups including our dance teams will be presenting their skills in
the auditorium from 3:45 pm until 5:30 pm. We need ticket collectors, ushers
and ticket sales help. Please email me
directly at dblank@schools.nyc.gov
if you are able to volunteer your time and efforts to these events.
We have been working on developing a
Homework Policy for the school. At HSFI,
community members – students, parents and staff – do well when there is
consistency among our policies. Please go to the school website to view the
policy and there is a link to a survey where you can give your comments on the
policy if you wish.
The Homework Policy Survey link is:
Make sure you and your child are
checking Jupiter Grades to know where they stand in their classes. Students should be checking their HSFI email
every day.
We maintain a weekly blog for HSFI Parents - the link is: http://hsfifashionabletimes.blogspot.com/
The school website has a section specifically for HSFI Parents –
