Due to travel delays, the Echo Dance Team unfortunately has to reschedule their performance for our students to a later date in the spring. Therefore, we will be postponing our Respect for All student assembly that was originally scheduled for February 9th. We will announce the new date once it is confirmed.
In the meantime, our students still have the FUNdraiser for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society assembly on February 13th to look forward to!
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Today, Wednesday, February 4th, schools across New York City, including PS 101, will participate in our second 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 was ENERGY, understanding where our energy comes from, how it is used, and what we can do to conserve it in our school and community.
Throughout the day, students will engage in lessons and activities centered on energy conservation, including:
Learning about renewable and non-renewable energy sources
Exploring how electricity is generated and how we use it in our daily lives
Identifying simple ways to conserve energy at school and at home
Brainstorming individual and classroom habits that reduce unnecessary energy use
Together, we’re working to build awareness and develop sustainable habits that will benefit our environment today and for years to come.
Thank you for supporting our efforts at home by encouraging conversations with your child about how small actions, like turning off lights when not in use, unplugging devices, and being mindful of heating and cooling—can make a big difference.
Let’s continue to make PS 101 a model for sustainability and care for our planet!
In recognition of Respect for All Week, PS 101 will be hosting a Respect for All Assembly for students on Monday, February 9th.
As part of this special event, we are excited to welcome the Echo Dance Team, who will visit our school to present an engaging, high-energy performance that blends dance, music, and storytelling. Through their show, students will explore important messages centered on respect, kindness, inclusion, and standing up against bullying.
The assembly is designed to encourage students to celebrate differences, support one another, and reflect on positive choices they can make within our school community. Our students will leave feeling motivated, empowered, and inspired to show respect for themselves and others.
We look forward to sharing this meaningful experience with our student
