Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl
Blank.
Some exciting news from this past week - Both the NYC
Department of Education & NY State Education Department were blown away by
the quality of our Visual Merchandising and Graphics & Illustration departments
this past Wednesday during a review of these programs for state certification! The four reviewers were impressed by our
students, parents and staff during their visit.
Some
exciting news about this week - This Wednesday, February 15, the Lord &
Taylor department store on 5th Avenue will be showcasing the designs of 10
fashion design students in a high-profile event. Our students’ designs are
already up in the store for all of their customers to enjoy! The entire school
community is invited to the event on Wednesday, February 15 at 6pm. Please come
and bring family and friends! Great exposure for HSFI! The official invite is below:
The Air
Conditioner campaign still continues to make good progress with almost $17,500
raised. With the matching donation up to
$50,000, we have an excellent chance to get the whole building air conditioned if
we can reach our goal. I did the math –
if every HSFI family contributed $11 each, we would have enough for air
conditioners throughout the school. That
is right, $11 per family. Thank you to
all the Fashion families that have given what they could for this
campaign. Every little bit helps! No
amount is too small! SPREAD THE WORD TO
FAMILY & FRIENDS!
If you or someone
you know wants to contribute cash, please bring the money to Room 819 where we
can give you a receipt. If you want to
write a check to contribute to the campaign, the check should be made out to HSFI Alumni Association. Your child can drop it off in Room 819 or it
can be mailed to the school at 225 West 24th Street, New York, NY
10011 and made to Attention to me, Daryl Blank, Principal. Remember, only $12 is needed from each HSFI
family.

Save the Dates – Thursday, March 16 and Friday, March 17 will be the
dates where Fashion families have an opportunity to come and observe HSFI
classes. I am very excited about this
event that will bring the school and our families closer together. Details coming soon!
I want to remind all Fashion families that our student
computer lab is open every day, just as it has been all year, from 7:30 am
through 2nd period, during all lunch periods and from the end of 8th
period until 5:00 pm. Students have
access to a classroom full of computers and printers all day long.
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.
