PTA
We are the official PTA of P.S. 111 Adolph S. Ochs, a neighborhood school in Hell's Kitchen, New York, educating students from 3K through 5th grade.
Learn more about what we do.
PS 111 students should experience a clean, beautiful environment when they arrive at our school.
To help provide that environment, PS 111 parents cleaned 14 tree beds around the school just before Thanksgiving, by:
- Removing & composting 65 gallons of weeds, while leaving the native plantings on 52nd.
- Picking up 24 gallons of trash.
- Discarding multiple pounds of animal waste.
- Mulching every tree bed adjacent to the school on 52nd, 53rd, and 10th Avenue.
This tree bed cleanup & beautification was performed by PS 111's Title I Parent Advisory Council, with funding from the PS 111 PTA.
Thank you to everyone who attended, or volunteered at, the November 14th Movie Night!
This was our 9th Movie Night since we first started these in early 2024. Thank you for making PS 111 Family Movie Nights a success!
Thank you to the PS 111 Class of 1975 for supporting PS 111's students and our newly-recommissioned library with a very generous donation!
