🎨🛠️ Creativity, collaboration, and curiosity in action! 🛠️🎨 Our Makerspace is buzzing with excitement as students design, build, and problem-solve through hands-on projects alongside Ms. Bousquet. From imaginative constructions to collaborative creations, our learners are exploring new ideas, strengthening critical thinking skills, and learning through play and experimentation.

This is where innovation begins—and where our students’ ideas truly come to life! ✨

💙 Who we are at PS/IS 157 💙

We believe in being helpful, empathetic, honest, and respectful—every single day. These values guide how our students treat one another, how we build relationships, and how we create a safe, welcoming school community where everyone belongs.

Because character matters just as much as academics. ✨

Every day, Mrs. Matthew and Ms. Ware show up with compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication to support our students’ social, emotional, and academic growth. From listening ears to guiding hearts, their impact reaches far beyond the counseling office and into the lives of our entire school community.

We are so grateful for the care, advocacy, and love they pour into our students — today and always 💫

📢 School Closure Reminder 📢

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., schools will be closed on Monday, January 19, 2026.

Dr. King was a powerful leader who believed in fairness, equality, kindness, and peaceful change. This day gives us an opportunity to reflect on his message and the importance of treating everyone with respect, compassion, and dignity—values we work to model and teach every day at PS/IS 157.

We look forward to welcoming our students and families back on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
