Traditions of the Pride
Special Events
Our school’s commitment to community support was beautifully exemplified through the heartwarming parent engagement activity of hosting a holiday party on Christmas Day for families experiencing hardship.
This special event aimed to bring joy and festive cheer to those facing challenges during the holiday season.
Families, teachers, and school staff came together in the spirit of generosity, creating a warm and welcoming environment where everyone could share in the joy of the holidays.
Pumpkin Patch
Every October, our school yard is transformed into a fall paradise complete with petting zoo, hay rides and pumpkin patch for our students.
For many of our scholars, this is the first time they are experiencing fall festivities, and it is a great way to immerse them in the seasonal fun. All students leave with a pumpkin and a huge smile.
Hispanic Heritage Month
Winter Wonderland
As the temperature drops and the holiday season approaches, our school yard is transformed into a winter wonderland.
Many of our scholars are experiencing winter and colder weather for the first time in their lives, so what is a better way than ice skating, a train ride, some bounce houses and a good old-fashioned mechanical reindeer ride. It may be cold outside, but we have so much fun we don’t feel it for a second.
Color Run 2023
Imagine 1,600 scholars dancing and running through rainbows of color, the sight is something incredible to behold.
This all day event starts with a dance party, culminates with a massive run around the school where students run through rainbows of powder. Everybody has a blast and the event is capped off with several bounce houses and inflatables. It is a fun and amazing way to cap off the school year.
5th Grade Senior Trip
We take great pride in giving them a memorable send-off.
As they step into the next chapter of their journey. This year, we celebrated with an unforgettable boat trip around New York Harbor, cruising past the Statue of Liberty and back to Jamaica Bay. Aboard a party boat, our scholars enjoyed a dance party and lunch, celebrating their achievements with music, laughter, and joy as they danced their way into Middle School.
Just a few days later, they proudly walked across the stage, earning their diplomas and officially graduating.
Congratulations to all of our graduates—we are so proud of you!
