Celebrating the Hurley and Spirit of TropiCaliente - You make all the Difference - Subscribe to updates from Neighborhood Parents for the Hurley School (NPHS), a public bilingual school in South End, Boston

Dear Members of the Hurley Community, and Neighborhood Friends of the Hurley School,

Any other year, we would be putting the finishing touches on TropiCaliente. We would be looking forward to the event on a Friday evening in May where the whole neighborhood comes together and celebrates students and teachers of our amazing Hurley school.

While this year we cannot gather together at Ben Franklin Institute for a night filled with friends, food, and fun, we can still celebrate the Hurley. We are actively working on supporting our Hurley students, their families, and teachers and administrators as they continue to inspire our students - and us parents.

While we keep the focus on the immediate needs of the Hurley community, we are not losing sight of long term goals we set out when planning this year's TropiCaliente - to raise money to support the building of the arts program at the Hurley school. Currently, our school budget does not provide funding for music, dance, or theater instruction.

With your support, we can ensure that every child at the Hurley will have the enriching opportunities to experience performing arts as part of their education.

Please consider a gift to NPHS- proceeds raised at TropiCaliente make up the majority of our annual budget. Even though the event can’t happen, we can still join together to support the Hurley, and its amazing teachers and students.

We are so grateful to those who have agreed to to sponsor our event. Thank you to Amy and Ethan d’Abelmont Burnes, James Anderson of Compass, Melanie Olinto of Compass, Steven Cohen of Keller Williams, and Vince O’Neill. Their commitment is so appreciated. If your family, small business, or company has sponsored TropiCaliente in the past and would consider supporting NPHS now, we would gratefully welcome your outreach in this critical time.

We appreciate your consideration. We know these are difficult times, but all Hurley students deserve a high quality public education, and we are dedicated to ensuring that.

All the best,
