Service To others

Service is embedded in our school’s mission. These opportunities are available to our students and families:

  • Supporting our sister school, PS 169 in Sunset Park, though our parent-run Community Outreach Team.

    • During the height of the pandemic, PS 107 families fundraised, assembled grocery boxes, and delivered those boxes to families at PS 169 experiencing food insecurity.

    • Every year, PS 107 families raise funds to purchase a holiday gift for every Kindergarten student at PS 169. 107 families wrap and deliver the gifts to 169.

    • Every year, PS 107 and PS 169 sponsor a children’s book giveaway for the Sunset Park community. This event is powered by volunteers from both communities.

    • PS 107 sponsors a coat and winter gear drive for PS 169 families.

    • PS 107 families purchase school supplies for PS 169 families every fall.

  • Supporting asylum-seeking families in our community, through our parent-run Community Outreach Team.

    • PS 107 families raised over $4K in direct assistance, Metrocards, and grocery store gift cards for newly-arrived asylum-seeking families attending neighboring PS124.

    • PS 107 families donated coats, winter gear, and Halloween costumes to newly-arrived asylum-seeking families.

    • PS 107 families offer legal and other assistance to newly-arrived asylum-seeking families at PS 124.

  • PS 107 Kindergarten parents volunteer as Lunch Pals at Kindergarten lunch and recess.

  • PS 107 5th graders participate in community service, assisting Kindergartners at recess.

  • Our entire school community regularly comes together whenever there is a need to raise funds and offer support.
