A Message From Mrs. O'Shaughnessy
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful, warm weekend! After last weeks rain and cool temperatures, it feels wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun! Take advantage of the parks, and being outside. Pretty soon, PS 88Q will have their own park for our families to enjoy. Fingers crossed that this time next year, we can gather there.
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. PS 88Q has some of the most dedicated, passionate and brilliant teachers. They have patience, empathy, and understanding. I can tell you that they are the hardest working staff I have ever had the pleasure of working alongside. PS 88q is buzzing every day by 6:30am, and most days, until 6pm. Then it is the work they do at home, planning, researching, learning. I am grateful for every single one of them.
Ms. Lowe and I have planned for a week of celebration for our teachers. The PTA has planned for daily celebrations as well.

PAC News
Our PAC committee hosted their second workshop "How to Help Your ENL Student". We had a wonderful turnout! Families gathered to learn more about how they can help their child, but that is not all! It was a wonderful opportunity for our families to meet each other, and make connections. They also celebrated Cinco de Mayo with some delicious food. Raffles and giveaways for all are always part of the agenda too. Hope to see you at the next workshop, May 19th
