Happy Holidays ☃️ #UglySweaterDay

Our kindergarten team put on a #winter craft celebration for our students and families ⛄️ Love seeing our families in the school to celebrate alongside their children ❄️

Holiday sing along performances going on this week. Thanks to Ms. Spallina, our chorus, and families for singing along with us.

Student performances are an excellent opportunity to show their creativity, use content-based vocabulary, and have fun! Shout out to Ms. Patterson and her students for today’s show, reminding us of the importance of caring for wildlife and their habitats 🌎

School tours are coming! Prospective families use the QR code to sign up ☀️

Finally!! Construction officially complete.

Our annual Book Fair is open this week December 9-13 📚 Huge shout out to our parent-led library team for putting the book fair together. PBJ.

When you conduct a PPO and notice one of your former students is now an instructional leader at PS 163 🙌

Celebrating our very own Ms. Bongi Doughty’s accomplishment as our Big Apple Award winner. Glad to be there alongside your beautiful family. @NYCSchools @DOEChancellor

⁦@FollowCSA⁩ sisters/brothers, wishing everyone a thanksgiving weekend filled either love, peace and delicious food to savor in the company of loved ones. Keep active this weekend - life is movement.

Publishing party celebrations are a great opportunity to showcase student learning alongside our families. Congratulations to our 5th grade students and teachers.

Thankful for our community and our nurturing environment 🍁 Fall Feast Celebrations 🦃

Our student council is the voice we need to advocate for school wide concerns. Today, the council met with our custodian to advocate for improved recycling practices. We agree! Next, our council will present to their peers on why recycling matters and how to recycle correctly.

Our Fall Feast🍁 celebrations are an opportunity to bring our community together to share a meal, laughs, and valuable time together. We are grateful for our students, families and staff that participated 🦃 Next week, we continue our annual event.

Our garden and landscape is slowly making its way back 🪴 post construction. Can’t wait until Spring when all buds and flowers bloom.

@Jill_Jorgensen @LPeynado Valuing students’ native language is key leading them to feel valued and empowered. Great article on @UNMSRocks

Thousands of students who speak little or no English have arrived in city schools in the last few years. Many learn in classes where their native language, often Spanish, is rarely or never spoken. One Lower East Side middle school wants to change that: ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
