College and Career Readiness Volunteers

Student Council is planning events for College & Career readiness. This means we want to get our students to start thinking about their future. One part of their future is middle school, high school and college!

We are looking for students to visit P.S.159 and speak to the students about their upper school experience. If your older child is possibly interested, please fill out this form. We know that our former middle school students have a half-day on March 13th. We would love to make this happen on that date to accommodate their schedule. Likewise, our former HS students have a half-day on March 21st.

Thank you so much for your help!
