Dear PS20 Community,

Thanks to all who were able to join us at Movie Night this past Friday and thanks to the committee, as always 🫶 

We had a wonderful Octoberfest today! 🎃  Shoutouts to Mosaic for games, St James Joy for music & vibes, 3 Guys from Brooklyn for pumpkins & hay bales, It's My Party LLC for the bounce houses + balloon animals, Joe and Sal's Pizza, Cesars Empanadas, Wilklow Orchards cider donuts.

Thanks to all who were able to participate and volunteer including Green Arts committee for the Bee Showcase, Community Support & Service for the Costume Shop, International & Multicultural Families for the Appreciation Station, our generous donors who baked and brought in additional treats and, of course, the Octoberfest planning committee for organizing it all. Please feel free to add your photos to the Octoberfest 2025 Photo Album on Konstella (note: photos may be used on the school IG and website).
