Joyous day for our students! Celebrating World Read Aloud day with Mayor Eric Adams, Chancellor Davis C. Banks, Pam Allyn.
📚Exciting day at our school! Our students had the honor of being read to by @NYCMayor @DOEChancellor Pam Allyn on @WorldReadAloudDay. Thank you for inspiring a love for reading and learning!
There is a fierce debate about who should control New York City’s public school system.
Mayor Adams is seeking to maintain his direct oversight of the schools, but he’s getting strong pushback. pix11.com/news/local-news/ma…

#WorldReadAloudDay is about turning the page on our children's future and showing them the power of reading.
Take it from someone who grew up with a learning disability: that power will give them confidence and that will change their lives.
GREAT morning at PS 123 in Manhattan.
