Families, students, and teachers asked for more arts programming -- and we're making it happen! We are starting by bringing an ART STUDIO to P.S. 137. The goals of this project would be to lay the foundation for an increased presence of art education and art practice at P.S. 137.

In light of this goal, Patterns Enrichment created a proposal with a variety of options, and parent input was collected. This project is a DIRECT reflection of our school's voice and our shared commitment to enriching student experiences.

THANK YOU so much for being part of our amazing PS 137 community. Your generosity and support mean the world to our students — and to all of us on the PTA!
