52 Sheepshead Singers, were invited to perform at the annual NYC DOE Winter Party, hosted by

and Ingrid Michaelson's "Winter Song", as well as several wintertime classics under the direction of

P.S./I.S.206: 7th grade teacher social studies, Joseph Polito celebrated diversity projects and
diversity day in his classroom. View photos here. Congratulations to P.S./I.S. 206 for receiving the
Disney Music in the Schools technical guidance grant, supporting their school's technical theater
goals. The school looks forward to the provided sound and/or lighting equipment training to
support their production of Aladdin. Four students (two general education students and two
special education students) from P.S./I.S. 206 attended the DOE’s Annual Inclusive Education
Student Summit. This event brings together students with and without disabilities from all five
boroughs to learn about inclusion and set the ground work for National Inclusive Schools Week.
Our students engaged in conversations and activities and learned
how to review accessibility through a new app. The students are
going to do a project with the APP over the next few months and
go back to report their progress at the next summit in May.
National Inclusive Schools Week December 3-7, celebrates the
progress schools have made in providing a supportive and quality
education to all students, including those who are
marginalized due to disability, gender, ethnicity, geography and
language. Our 8th grade GEMs were able to visit Pfzier's Center for
Therapeutic Innovation for a Young Women in Bio event about

were able to tour Pfzier's laboratory and meet women scientists to
discuss careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
P.S. 277: Jamaica Bay is losing its natural beauty and rich history. Our Assemblywoman Jaime
Williams supports the Jamaica Bay Project by promoting a documentary film to educate our
children to keep the environment clean. A clean environment ensures the continual existence and
survival of all life on Earth. Cleaning the environment reduces pollution, protects unique ecosystems,
prevents the extinction of endangered species and conserves resources, such as water, land and
air. P.S. 277 continues to support this cause and keep the environment clean.
The staff of P.S. 277 wear purple in support of Pancreatic Cancer awareness.
Our vision and goals are to encourage learning through the arts. Art is a universal language and we

together in a fun learning environment. Parents are welcome to attend and learn some fun creative
ideas to do at home with their child.

accident on the Taconic State Parkway in New York State on July 26, 2009. Since losing their
daughters, they formed the Hance Family Foundation, whose mission is so vital to them no single
word can describe it: To honor the lives of their three beautiful girls, they are sharing innovative self-
esteem educational programming. They have chosen to focus on how their daughters lived,
rather than how they died. PS 195 teachers are in training seminars by Beautiful Me counselors to

confidence, leadership of females and the prevention of bullying. It is an empowering workshop
for females. Some of our students were in on the first seminar and loved it.
