Fundraisers

P.S. 127 students, teachers and staff participate in numerous fundraising efforts throughout the school year which brings awareness to particular causes. We have found that our fundraising events help our school come together and work towards a common goal. It builds a strong community, highlights important educational skills, and instills a sense of social awareness and moral values in the minds of our youth. In the midst of the pandemic, we are trying our best to continue our fundraising efforts with innovative, virtual ways.
