Earth Day: 2025
This year, P.S. 255 celebrated Earth Day with a school-wide project, titled "Art Out of Recycled Items." Classes chose a theme that connected to our school theme, and then created a class art project using recycled materials. Students were busy at work during the month of April! Once the projects were completed, they were placed in the hallways for all students to admire. There were so many creative projects this year... take a look!
