P.S. 212 Principal’s Message

December 2025
 
Dear PS 212 Families,

During the month of December students and their classes will be learning about different holiday customs and traditions and will learn about all types of winter holiday celebrations around the world. On December 20, 2024, PS 212 will host our annual students and staff “Wishes For Our World” Tree Lighting Ceremony and PTA Winter Wonderland.  Classes will decorate a special ornament that will help us decorate our holiday tree with their “Wish for Our World in 2025”. The tree and ornaments will be in our auditorium for the month of January.  On 12/20/24 students and teachers will gather in the auditorium for a fun filled multicultural holiday sing-along.  Our special holiday celebrations will include a visit by each class to our PTA's “Winter Wonderland” where children will be greeted by Santa and Mrs. Clause (and other special surprise guests) and receive a PTA gift. Our annual staff ugly sweater contest is taking place and children can wear an ugly sweater if they have one! At our assemblies we will be recognizing our November Leader of the Month students and the Dance team will be performing!  Parents of students who are part of the show will be invited to attend.  

If you do not want your child to participate in this event, please write a note to inform your child's teacher by 12/18/24 or email our parent coordinator Ilia Liff - Iliff@schools.nyc.gov.  

On behalf of Mrs. Dror, Mrs Fontana and myself, we wish all of the wonderful families of PS 212 a terrific winter break, peaceful holiday season and a joyous New Year.  

See you in 2025!

 

NYC DOE schools are closed for winter break 12/23- 1/1/25 and will reopen on January 2, 2025 for all students and staff.  Happy Holidays! There is no school on December 23, 2024- the calendar has been revised by the NYC Public Schools. 

Sincerely,

Rina Horne
