Dear PS 101 Families,

Today, Wednesday, April 22nd, schools across New York City, including PS 101, will participate in our next Sustainability Climate Action Day of the year!

This citywide initiative encourages students to learn about and take action toward protecting our planet. Our focus for this Climate Action Day is Health, Wellness + Green Space, exploring how our environment affects our well-being and how caring for green spaces helps support a healthier community.

Throughout the day, students will engage in lessons and activities centered on wellness and environmental care, including:

• Learning how green spaces support physical and mental health
• Exploring ways we can care for plants, gardens, and natural spaces
• Understanding the connection between clean air, movement, and healthy habitat
• Brainstorming classroom and home habits that promote wellness for ourselves and the earth

Together, PS 101 is helping students make meaningful connections between personal health and the health of our planet.

Thank you for supporting these efforts at home by encouraging conversations with your child about spending time outdoors, caring for plants, and making daily choices that support overall well-being.

Let’s continue to make PS 101 a model for sustainability and care for our planet!

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol
Principal
