Welcome to PS 9!

PS 9 is an open choice elementary school with a strong focus on the arts. The PTA at PS 9 is committed to encouraging parents to use their "VOICE" (Vision, Opportunity, Independence, Collaboration, Expression) to create meaningful opportunities for students, staff and families.
As a result, we provide a variety of school, community and family activities that not only engage children and families, but build a community as well.
We look forward to providing our families with many meaningful opportunities throughout the school-year.

Welcome to PS 9!

Harvest Days

PS 9 has partnered with Garden to Cafe, a program of the NYC Department of Education, Office of School Food, and a partner in Grow to Learn, the Citywide School Garden Initiative. The program connects school gardening and school lunch through seasonal harvest events and educational activities. 


We are excited to be one of few city schools chosen by Garden to Cafe to participate in a new pilot program, which brings harvest events to our school multiple times throughout the year.  Our first "harvest day" will take place on Friday, October 16th, during the school day, when Garden to Cafe staff will integrate school gardening with school lunch. Although this is NOT a family event, we encourage you use this as an opportunity to talk with your children about healthy lifestyle choices in regards to food and nutrition.
