The belief in the potential of every student is at the core of my philosophy. Having grown up in Corona, Queens, and attended the outstanding D24 schools, I have a profound love and appreciation for this vibrant community. My family’s journey from the Dominican Republic to the United States has given me firsthand insight into the challenges and triumphs of language learning and cultural assimilation. Therefore, I am honored to be an Assistant Principal at P.S. 143, where I can have a direct impact on the lives of our Cubs, Lions, and the community each and every day. We will work together to reach our full potential.
I am dedicated to advocating tirelessly for our students and families, ensuring that restorative practices prevail in our school community and equity and justice permeate every aspect of our school. Academically and socially, our students are receiving the support they need to thrive. I am excited to continue working alongside our Proud Principal, Ms. Lucas, and our administrative team to nurture our school, maintain a safe and inclusive learning environment, and passionately encourage and challenge every member of our school community to grow and continually seek to improve while fostering empathy and celebrating the vibrant cultures that flood our hallways.
Warm regards,
Mr. Silverio
