Tuesday, June 14, 2011

PS 30 is by far one of the most remarkable schools on the Island. Under new administration, Principal Spina is getting the job done. She admires all her "little bosses" and sees that each and every child gets what they deserve. The children adore her. Her PTA is amazing and fund raise hard. They include all parents and teachers and no one is ever left behind. GREAT job PS 30. Keep on leaping! Close Quote
