PS 225 planned many College Access tours, with the purpose of exposing their students to
college campuses. Students visited many colleges throughout the five boroughs of New York
City, such as The College of Staten Island, Kingsborough Community College, York
College, Bronx Community College and Queens Community College are just to name a
few. Students also enjoyed trips to Yale University, West Point Academy and Princeton
University. The students asked some great questions like cost, commitment and history of each
college.

It hard to believe over a hundred days of school have already passed; time really does fly when you’re having fun! In January, PS 97 held their annual “P.S.97’s Got Talent” show featuring their super talented third, fourth and fifth graders. They also hosted “Art Fair Jr.”, which highlighted our talented young artists. The fifth grade participated in a residency with Inside Broadway, entitled “From Rock to Stage” featuring music from a variety of Broadway musicals about icons of rock and roll.
Seth Low I.S.96 has collaborated with Grady High School to create an after school-cooking club
for I.S. 96’s students.
