Local jeweler — and local dad — Alexis Bittar is holding a “Holiday Shopping Event” at his store (and online!), where all proceeds from sales will go to local elementary schools PS8 and PS307. Bittar has been holding this fundraiser event at his 162 Court Street store since 2021. Stop by between 11am and 7pm today, and pick up something nice for that special someone in your life (or not so special, we’re not judging)! If you can’t make it to the store, you can shop online, or phone your order in — just be sure to mention PS8! There will be “drinks and treats” in the store between 5pm and 7pm this evening to celebrate the fundraiser, and it’s not that cold out, so maybe you could pop in for some earrings and a free snack.
With the Eric Adams administration cutting school funding so the city can have robocops and drone armies, many schools will be looking for ways to possibly get rid of programs and reduce teaching staff to make ends meet. This fundraiser event is an effort by a concerned local parent to forestall such cuts at two of our beloved neighborhood elementary schools. So don’t just shop for your loved ones…. do it for the kids!
