Learn more about what we do.

Movie Night is May 23rd

PS 111 Carnival

Vote for the movie that will be shown at the upcoming PS 111 Family Movie Night!

We know many people travel that weekend, but if you are around, we'd love for you to join us for our first movie since February.

Volunteers are needed! Please help our school and PS 111 community by assisting with setup, working on the food stations before the movie, and cleaning up. We expect turnout to be lower at this Movie Night, so it's a great opportunity to get involved and learn about how these events are run.

To volunteer, email (or talk to) the PTA's President, Caitlin Canfield.

Volunteering does not require you to miss seeing the movie with your family.

Happy Mother's Day ๐Ÿ’—

Happy Mother's Day from the PS 111 PTA!

PS 111 Carnival

๐Ÿฅ• Pre-K Beans Sprout in PS 111 Community Garden ๐Ÿชป

PS 111 Community Garden Grant Winner

Ms. Greene's Pre-K class's beans have sprouted!

On Friday, April 25th, Pre-K 002 planted purple beans in our small PS 111 container garden, donated by kidsgardening.org and Crescent Garden. Only eight days later, they sprouted!

They made it through the Carnival unscathed, and had a much-needed drink from the recent rains.

Thank you, Pre-K 002 and Ms. Greene, for being PS 111 gardeners!

Our Mission

To enhance the education of every student at the PS 111 Adolph S. Ochs elementary school, upgrade the school environment for the benefit of our students, support and strengthen the PS 111 community, and improve communication and build trust between the school administration and our community.

We are entirely volunteer-run and -led, with our work possible because of the generous members of the PS 111 community who give their time and financial resources to support our students.
