Help a Palumbo Family in Need - GoFundMe

Two weeks ago, a GoFundMe campaign launched to support a family with children at Academy at Palumbo and George W. Nebinger School and whose mother is a Palumbo staff member. This family recently experienced a tragic house fire, leaving them without a home and most of their belongings.

We set a goal of raising $5000 and as of November 1, we have raised $3,190 through 67 donations. Thank you to those who have donated. We need $1810 more to meet our goal. If you haven't donated yet, please consider making a contribution through this GoFundMe link. Any amount is appreciated, and please share this link with your friends.

Palumbo Self-Care Stations - Accepting Donations

Throughout Palumbo, students have access to self-care stations where they can get snacks and self-care items. Help us fill these stations by checking out the Amazon Wish List which was provided by Ms. DiGiuseppe.

Shout out to Mr. Hoffman's music students who are using the city as their classroom by independently going out to Arts performances each quarter. Some have had the opportunity to interview artists and take pictures and videos with performers.

Thank you to Ms. Donnelly, Ms. Bond, Mr. Jordan, Mr. Remal, Ms. Fisher, the Orchestra, the Dance 2 class, and everyone else who helped to make the Parade of Horrors another huge success! Thank you students for showing up in your great costumes and entertaining us all! Thanks to the entire school for being such a great audience. By the way, our staff theme this year was Cartoon Characters. Can't wait til next year 😀

We're sad that Our Phightin' Phils didn't make it to the World Series, but we still love them, and there's ALWAYS NEXT YEAR! You can still purchase a shirt for $15 from Ms. Sundeen in room 436 while supplies last!

There are two medical forms that need yearly updating for all students. If you have not already done so, please complete the medical information form and the med-1 form which allows our nurse to administer medication to students while in school.

If your student tests positive for Covid, the reporting form can be found here as well.

Please contact nurse Stevens at cstevens@philasd.org if you have questions.
