PTA of PS 116

Our school, P.S. 116, is a community of learners in which all children are encouraged to achieve high academic standards and social success, to enjoy learning, to celebrate diversity, to develop analytical skills, and to model exemplary behavior. We empower our students to take responsibility for their own learning by recognizing that effort leads to academic success. They are active participants and every child has a responsibility not just to perform a task, but to do it to the best of her or his ability. We emphasize the basic virtues of respect, compassion, perseverance, honesty, and commitment to character building.
