This school has the heart! With the teachers and staff who have the strongest backbones and the biggest heart. I have witnessed some of our most challenging years as educators not only in our school community but in this country at large. Yet, we are still standing and thriving amidst this pandemic. Every single person from the principal to the lunch lady, from the teachers to the janitors want to see every single student succeed. The dedication this staff puts in every single day to show up for each student touches my heart on a daily basis. Everyone here is a true hero. The staff aren't just here for the jobs - they care for every student, as if they were their own child. P.S. 246 has really pioneered the importance of Social Emotional learning, especially during the height of the 2020 pandemic - when students, families and staff needed it the most. Everyday this school is looking to learn new ways of providing quality education and guiding resources for students and families to succeed. If you walk through the school doors, our art teacher painted the great words of R.B. Fuller, “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.” That is how we treat each person that walk through these doors. Everyone has so much unlocked potential, and we are here to stay and nurture the seeds of knowledge and watch everyone grow to their true and highest selves.
