PS Serves

Over the last several years, our community service program called PS Serves has held strong. At the start of the Pandemic we wondered how best to provide service to our neighbors at Turning Point. We asked ourselves, “if not now, then when?” We persevered over Zoom, created digital slideshows, and used online options whenever possible.

This year, we were thrilled to be back in person. We hosted our most successful sock and underwear drive to date, decorated and filled reusable bags with fresh fruit, and assembled hygiene and snack packs. While we were still unable to enter the Turning Point facility or cook for the residents, PS1 students enjoyed walking to Turning Point to hand-deliver their projects.

PS Serves has provided a wonderful opportunity for parents and students to engage with the greater community. PS1 parent volunteers Jade Duell and Taura Mizrahi have led PS Serves for the past six years, and we offer them our gratitude for such dedication and hard work as they become alumni parents.
