Teacher Appreciation Week 2021 at PS 20

Dear teachers, educators, and staff,

This is Teacher Appreciation Week 2021: we are so happy to show our gratitude and say thanks to your exceptional dedication and commitment to all our children.

To the world, you are a teacher and an educator, and to PS 20 you are our heroes!

You helped us all despite an incredible pandemic to keep normalcy in our community lives and teach day after day, at PS 20.

You are inspiring and your devotion to the children of PS 20 is what makes this community so unique.

As philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said: "Commitment is an act, not a word" and you demonstrate just that day after day, at PS 20.

We appreciate you for all you do and we have no word to express our respect and admiration! Maya Angelou said: "When you know better you do better" for all of us at PS 20.

On behalf of our PTA, please accept few tokens of love during this week of appreciation at PS 20.

Kids Heart Challenge COMPLETE!

PS 20 students participated in the Kids Heart Challenge to support the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association. Students and families raised a total of $3,774.95 for the American Heart Association in just 4 weeks. YEAH!

We're so proud of our community for their unwavering drive to help others. Together, our efforts have made a huge difference in the fight against heart disease. Furthermore, we have earned a $300 dollar gift card to use at US games for Physical Education equipment.

We salute all participants, and we cannot wait to make an even bigger impact next school year. Well done, PS 20! 

We celebrated the achievement of our starting fundraising goal of 1,500 dollars with a teacher slime challenge. Our students experienced a tremendous amount of laughter and excitement by sliming our favorite music teacher, Mr. Hampton! We are grateful to him for being such a great sport. That was just the right amount of drive to get our students to surpass a second fundraising goal of 3K to earn a second slime challenge. They voted for our very own Ms. Cassimiro who has led us in the Kids Heart Challenge!

Thank you again for joining us in the Kids Heart Challenge this year.

For prospective parents: what does PS 20 look like?

Dear prospective parents,
We would like to thank you for your interest in PS 20 The Clinton Hill School. Unfortunately, PS 20 will not be conducting any physical tours of our school in this unprecedented pandemic crisis.
We would have loved to do a live school video tour of PS 20, but such a production demands time and money, two very limited commodities nowadays.
With the safety restrictions and the realities of the impact of coronavirus this year, the school is looking much less lively than it looks during a typical year.
So we'd rather showcase what the school looks and feels like during non-pandemic times, via these videos, which were produced in the Spring of 2019 as part of an application process for the DOE Reimagine Grant!
These videos will give you an "apercu" of what our school, students, and teachers look like in a time of normalcy.

If you have any questions about PS20, please feel free to call 718-834-6744 and ask to speak to our Parent Coordinator, Mrs. Karen Colon.
Be safe, be well, and we hope to see you in 2021-22!
PS 20 PTA
