P.S. I LOVE YOU DAY! 

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

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

To bring awareness to the importance of mental health and 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.
