From the Staten Island Advance!

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- While a new dedicated maritime-themed school is no longer being pursued on Staten Island, several schools in the borough are integrating maritime curriculum into a variety of subjects.

PS 59, New Brighton, has been incorporating maritime-themed curriculum into its daily teachings by focusing on the impact of the New York Harbor and the Billion Oyster Project -- which works to restore 1 billion live oysters in the harbor over the next two decades -- across all grades from pre-K to fifth grade.

  • Holiday Shop

     

    The holidays are coming and we want to help make the season even more special for your children by giving them the opportunity to shop for the perfect gift for mom, dad, grandparents, siblings, teacher, friends and other important people in their lives.

    This year the holiday shop will be operated by our 5th grade students.  The Holiday Shop is a program designed for children to shop on their own at school, in a safe, non-commercial environment. They can learn to budget their money and spend wisely, while also experiencing the “Joy Of Giving”. Gifts are priced for a child’s budget, ranging from $0.25 to $10.00, with most priced under $5.00. The funds raised from this event will support our 5th grade graduation activities.

    An envelope will be sent home by Friday, December 13th with a list of who to buy for and a budget to make sure they don’t forget anyone. This will be a CASH ONLY fair. There will be 5th grade volunteers to assist the kids in staying within their budget.

    Thank you!
