Our students are from the most diverse borough of New York City, Queens. Because of this, our population is made up of many English language learners. Our goal is to make sure all of our students believe in themselves just as much as we believe in their ability.
We are a Blue Ribbon School that is in danger of facing a devastating loss of Title I funding.
Our school prides itself on providing our students and their families a well balanced education. Beyond the standard academic subjects, we bring in unique programs such as Fitness and Nutrition 4 Kids (Fan4Kids), Studio in a School, the New York Historical Society and many other programs that provide our students with unique learning opportunities.
Public schools such as ours are in danger of losing critical funding that our school utilizes to help our students thrive. We do not wish to sit idle while the flames of failure is lit. We are passionate about our students, school, and community and are willing to do everything and anything to prevent our school from falling below the high standards we have set. Please take a stand and help fight for public education!
My Project
This year's bunch of pre-K kiddos are the most caring and compassionate group I've ever had. There isn't a child that has a mean spirit in them. Many of them will go out of their way to help others zip up their jackets or guide them if they are astray.
Snack time is a very interesting period to witness.
We encourage all parents to send in a healthy snack for their child. Snack time is right after play centers and before outdoor play. It's a good mid-day eat to hold them over until lunch. The kids who bring snack bring a wide variety. You will see seaweed, sushi, rice crackers, vegetables, and all different kinds of fruits such as cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberries and dragon fruit.
Although the variety of diverse snacks is most impressive, many students do not have snacks because their parents cannot afford to send a snack in every day. These kids will often rely on leftover breakfast, which can get repetitive. They can't help but ask others to share with them or have a taste. Students are always willing to share, but the burden of feeding their classmates should not fall on them. Although they are generous enough to share, I would often see them share all but one piece of muffin, cracker, or cookie for themselves, sometimes even none.
No child should go hungry, especially when they are in school. The majority of my students qualify for free lunch. I am requesting a variety of healthy snacks to give to all of my students, so there is no need to seek out the few who are fortunate enough to have snacks.
