by a teacher
Thursday, August 13, 2015

As a teacher at P.S. 5 for many years, I must say how proud I am to work in this community of learners. Under the leadership of the hardest working principal in the system, most dedicated staff to be found anywhere, and our parents who are supportive of their children , we have created a great environment for learning. All of us together strive to learn something new everyday. Mrs. R. Hagis , fourth grade teacher. Close Quote
