Welcome in the school year with a fantastically fun potluck celebration of the diversity and individuality of the P.S. 39 community! Bring a delicious dish (either from your family's heritage or a favorite) to share for the potluck! This is a wonderful opportunity to make a family recipe with your children and share the story of why this dish is special to your family. This is a free community event for the families and caregivers of all P.S. 39 students, teachers and staff. It will take place in the PS 39 schoolyard.

PS39 is continuing our partnership with the Tenement Museum on their “Your Story, Our Story” project. “Your Story, Our Story” started in a Brooklyn middle school and has expanded to high school and colleges. Last year PS 39 was the pilot school for their expansion into elementary school and we are excited to participate again. This project allows our children to celebrate their unique, rich, family histories. We know that by sharing our stories we are helping to strengthen our community. Learn more about this project on our Your Story, Our Story page.
