Why get involved at PS 9?
The participation of the parents at PS 9 makes all the difference in terms of the quality of our children's education. Volunteers, working to make our fundraising events a success, make these programs possible:
- Assistant Teachers - we pay the salary of every PS 9 assistant teacher for every classroom, K through 5.
Without our work there would be no assistant teachers. - Spanish language program for all grades
- Our highly regarded chess program; teacher salary and supplies
- Publication of News@9
- Library resources
- Fabulous art, music, and movement enrichments and events like the Jazz Jive and Bash the Trash
- Music, Art and Science Materials
- Babysitting and pizza for our kids during evening PA meetings
There are many ways to contribute to the volunteer effort at PS 9 - everything from baking your favorite cookie recipe for a bake sale to being on the Executive Board of the PA. We’re sure that you can find something that you enjoy doing that fits your abilities and availability.
