The PS 8 Annual Spring Auction
Thursday, April 10th
7:00 to 9:00 pm
Hillis Hall at Plymouth Church
All proceeds from the Auction go to pay for teaching assistants and to cover the costs of our enrichment program. PS 8’s enrichment program isn’t just an offering of elective classes, it is a crucial component of our children’s education and an important part of how PS 8 has transformed itself from one of New York City’s failing Public Schools just a few years ago into the highly regarded school that it is today.
The enrichment program expands our core curriculum by adding art, dance, chess, science and many other valuable classes that enhance our children’s education, spark their imaginations and demonstrate the value of a good education beyond report cards and standardized tests.
We hope to see you there.
