Joining the school for the festivities will be New York State Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj, a supporter of the arts in schools.

P.S./M.S. 89 art teacher Will Goertzel says, "I have been so impressed with the art produced by our students. I think some them have surprised themselves with what they have accomplished. I look forward to having my students share their accomplishments with their families and the community."
Serving the community for over 95 years, P.S. /M.S. 89 provides a first class educational experience for over 1400 students in grades Pre-K - 8. Students in grades 6-8 are accepted into one of two academies, STEM or Arts and Humanities. While the school offers students instruction in visual arts, graphic arts and drama, partnerships with Lincoln Center (Jazz for Young People) and The Jazz Foundation of America affords students an opportunity to make connections between subject classes and music across all grades.
The program is free to the public; an adult must accompany children under 16. Take the IRT #5 subway to Pelham Parkway. For additional information, contact 718 653-0835.
