Funded Oct 12, 2023Thank you so much for your support and helping us to purchase a recess equipment cart and additional recess supplies. The students are so excited to have these materials for outside during recess. We hope in the future to add to what we have already.
Our students are so lucky to have kind and generous donors like you who help us to have wonderful things within our school community. We hope to continue to have andditional opportunities for the students at PS 161 such as different activities during recess.”

Funded Feb 9, 2022Thank you so much for investing in the students at PS 161. In the beginning of April the students planted the seeds in cups of soil. We enlisted the help of Mr. Vivar and Ms. Camille (avid gardeners). We raised the plants on the window sill in Ms. Bennett's classroom. Then we implanted them into the garden in early May. The students enjoy being outside and working on the garden. They have also been cleaning the yard and additional flower beds that contain weeds.
Our PS 161 Trailblazers were beyond excited to participate in the project. The Student Government has been working hard to continue to beautify the yard. We are putting all of the materials to good use. The garbage bags have really come in handy. It has been a great learning experience for our scholars as many of them have never planted a garden before.
The Student Government hopes to continue to foster the Clean the Yard project. We will continue to work on the garden. The students would also like to add some signs and more flowers around the flower beds to help beautify the area. We hope to add a little each year to help PS 161's school yard be a bright, beautiful place to be.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Bennett
