RAINBOW TAKEOVER

We’re thrilled to celebrate Pride Month with activities and learning that reflect our school’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and to allyship with our LGBTQ+ staff, families, and students.  This week, all students will participate in our annual Rainbow Takeover during Art with Ms. Julie. Each class will collaboratively design large posters with messages of allyship and belonging, celebrating the beautiful diversity of our school community. These posters will be displayed on the school’s fences.  And don’t forget — our student Rainbow Club will be marching in the Brooklyn Pride Twilight Parade on Saturday, June 14th. We’d love for you to come out and cheer them on!

BIG YARD GAMES

On Monday, June 9th, each grade will spend a whole period taking part in PS 107's version of 'Field Day', featuring fun games for all.

PS 124 CLOTHING SWAP

On Saturday, June 14th, from 10:30am-12:30pm, please join our friends at PS 124 for our next seasonal clothing and housewares swap! As a mutual aid group, we strongly believe that for these special events to continue we need the support of community members to “dig in” and share in the labor. We are using this event to emphasize how important it is to create a space where people feel safe, welcome, and open to build community. If you would like to donate clothing and houseware, we hope you will also plan to stay and help sort for a portion of the event. Please keep in mind: ONLY bring items that are in-season, high quality, and in great condition. We hope to see you there!
