PS 116 is a public elementary school in NYC serving approximately 600 students grades PreK-5th (ages 4-10) and their families. The PTA of PS 116 is a non-profit 501(c)(3) that directly support all of the amazing programs that our children get to experience each day.
The PTA works hard each year to provide 100% of the funds for all of the “extras” not covered by the NYC Board of Ed. The PTA pays for specialty teachers (music, theater and chess), school supplies, building improvements such as air conditioners and no cost community building events such as art night and potluck dinners. In addition, funding is provided for part-time teaching assistants in the lower grades and teacher development. This year we plan on continuing our existing programs and have chosen to focus our efforts on: establishing a new visual arts program; putting full-time teaching assistants in all lower grades and to grow our free community events.
