• Annual Fall Festival Sponsored by our PA

  On Sunday, October 19th, our school yard came alive with vibrant crafts, exciting bouncy slides, delicious food, and lively music. The festive atmosphere was made even more special by visits from Juno, our dedicated administration, teachers, staff, and the ever-supportive Ms. Siobhan.  Our Parent Association (PA) truly outdid themselves, organizing a wonderful event that brought families together to celebrate and support a great cause. The day was filled with laughter, connection, and community spirit. Food vendors offered a variety of mouthwatering treats and snacks that delighted attendees of all ages.  This event is one of many sponsored by our PA, whose efforts help raise essential funds for our school's enrichment programs. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and commitment to enhancing our students' educational experiences.

• 2025-2026 School Year Off to a Great Start

  September Highlights at PS 144

  September was a very busy and exciting month at PS 144! We were thrilled to welcome many new teachers and staff members as we opened several new classrooms to support smaller class sizes. The hallways are now buzzing with energy, learning, and new connections as students and staff settle into the school year.

  We kicked off the year with a fun-filled carnival featuring bounce houses, games, and lots of smiling faces. It was a wonderful way to build community and start the year on a joyful note. Thank you Council Person Shulman for stopping by and always supporting our school.  

  We were also honored to receive a visit from our superintendent, Dr. Blake, who stopped by during the first week to greet students and staff.

  Our school mascot, Juno, helped launch our first SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) assembly on Wellness Wednesday. SEL continues to be a core focus at PS 144, with many meaningful and engaging activities taking place in classrooms throughout the building.

  Here’s to a fantastic start to the school year!
