United Community Schools

Spring recess has ended, but the joy of the season remains. Our Community School Director, Arlene Santos, organized BWA's Paint & Sip event, which offered a wonderful combination of learning and relaxation. We are very grateful to LEAP and our BWA family for their support.

We cannot let the month of March end without celebrating our social workers and all that they do for our students. For instance, students from P.S. 30 recently showcased the tools they have been using to support emotional well-being at the SEL RULER Showcase in Harlem.

A little Green goes a long way. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! #unitedcommunityschools #unitedforbetter #stpatricksday
