Multicultural Day!!!

    multicultural day flyer  

"The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white...I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike."

--Maya Angelou

P.S./I.S. 268 observes P.S. I Love You day!

 reflection of hearts adorn staircase 

P.S. I LOVE YOU DAY! 

"Love is patient and kind..."  endeavor to show love to everyone; it's the one thing we can all afford to give!

On the second Friday of every February,  staff and students  wear purple  in  participation of P.S. I Love you Day!  

To bring awareness to the importance of mental health and to decrease bullying.

We strongly believe that by educating students earlier about mental health, the conversation will be easier to discuss and students will be able to recognize when they or others around them need help.
