Dear BNS Families,

Happy New Year!

There has been a chill in the air these past few weeks, one that has made me even more grateful for the warmth, joy, love, and compassion I feel every time I'm in the building at BNS. Our children are learning that the world is full of wonder, goodness, and possibility—and that we all have a responsibility to make our society the best it can be.

For Valentine’s Day, See’s Candies is offering a number of special items, boxes of assorted chocolates, and others of their popular items like chocolate lollipops. 20% of your purchase goes back to BNS.

Last day to order is next Friday, January 31st. 

Join us Saturday, February 1 at 11am-1:30pm for Better Together an event celebrating the diversity of the BNS community. Open mic, art, music, food, face painting and fellowship. And a winter gear swap - click here for more info.

There are still a few hours left until the ball drops and it's not too late to make a tax-deductible donation. This is a wonderful opportunity to support the programming that makes BNS so special while also taking advantage of those valuable year-end tax deductions.

BNS Parents have filled a bunch of boxes with cookies so we can sell them to raise funds for the PTA. All proceeds go to the BNS PTA's general fund and help pay for all the programming that makes BNS special- the Musical, Shore School, 2nd Grade Swim, BAX and the Green Program, and so much more! As always additional contributions are appreciated by all.

Dear BNS Families,

As the year winds down, we’re reflecting on the incredible learning and growth happening at Brooklyn New School. Students are fully immersed in the hands-on, project-based activities that define BNS—whether using Class 1 levers to lift each other or channeling water flow at the Salt Marsh, they’re thinking critically and solving real-world problems.

There are many ways for families to connect with student learning this month—3rd and 4th Grades have Shares, 1st Grade has a Math Morning, and 2nd Grade has a grade level family meeting.

December calendars went home on Friday, and you’ll find reminders of key dates below and in Konstella. Don’t miss the PTA meeting on Friday, December 13th, at 8:20 AM. We hope to see you soon!

Thank you for helping make BNS a place where students thrive. Wishing you a joyful holiday season!

Sincerely,

Your BNS PTA
