  • CLIMATE ACTION DAY

    Tuesday, October 20th - WASTE

    Climate Action Days are a fun, creative learning opportunity for entire school communities. They are also a way that any school can get started with climate action.

    October 20th is the first of four Climate Action days this year. Today we are focusing on Waste.

    Every school chooses activities — or creates their own — that best serve their students and interests.

    The Booker T. Green Team is working with teachers to present information homeroom classes.

    Each climate action day is based on a theme, and showcases the importance of climate education and sustainability practices. Learn more about NYCPS Climate Action Days.

  • THANKSGIVING PIE SALE

    Order your pies now!

    Too much on your plate this year?! Make life easier and let us take care of your thanksgiving pie orders.

    Everyone loved last year’s pies and quiches so much that we are partnering with Meredith’s Breads once again.

    Homemade and preservative-free, Meredith’s pies (including gluten-free options) and quiches are not only delicious, but a portion of every sale goes back to Booker T. 

    This year, we have added even more options! Treat yourself to as many 10" pies as you like for your thanksgiving dinner. Traveling for Thanksgiving but want to partake in the fundraiser? Give back and donate a pie to the Ascension Food Pantry for their community Thanksgiving dinner or celebrate our amazing Booker T. staff and donate a pie for their annual pie party.

    Pies and quiches must be picked up on Tuesday, November 24th between 3pm and 5pm in the lobby. Your child is welcome to pick them up (if you trust them, of course)!

    Be sure to stop by our pop-up School Store event during pickup to get a head start on holiday shopping!

    Order your pies now!

    All pies not picked up will be donated to the Accession Church.

    October is National Bullying Prevention month. We want to encourage students and staff to participate in raising awareness about the harmful effects of bullying and how together we can support prevention, intervention, and reduce incidents.

    We are asking staff and students to wear an orange shirt on Friday, October 23 to send a visible message that no child or adult should ever experience bullying.
     
    Monday, October 26th is Mix it Up at "Lunch Day". We are asking students and staff to cross social boundaries, move out of their comfort zone, and connect with someone new over lunch.
