Brotherhood Celebration - Thu Feb 16

The Brotherhood Dinner at PS20 was started almost 20 years ago during Black History Month to promote family, unity, community, and to celebrate the African diaspora. By sitting down together at the table for a shared meal, the Brotherhood Dinner honors the diversity of our community and helps us to understand each other better as we work on achieving the same goals for all of our children.

This year, classes will be sharing their tributes to Black History and Brotherhood through performances, class presentations, poems and visual art. Parents are invited to join classroom presentations, performances in the Auditorium as well as share food and company in the Cafeteria.

Parents are encouraged to bring food contributions and sign-up for volunteer opportunities - more details will be posted on Konstella!
