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

Dear BNS Families,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have been showing up to support the school in so many ways this Fall. We've seen you "oooh-ing" and "ahhh-ing" at classroom shares, chaperoning field trips, helping at Kindergarten Lunch, creating beauty with the Arts Committee, rocking out at BNS Fest, writing grants and newsletters and social media content, making donations, participating in SLT and PTA meetings, selling fresh, affordable produce at the Farm Stand (and yummy treats at the Bake Sale), and so much more. The school and our kids are better for all of your efforts and we are so grateful.
