At PS 398 in Crown Heights, students and families have been making the most of opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate their school community. Through educational outings, shared experiences, and creative attendance initiatives, our team is helping students see that school engagement extends far beyond the classroom.
Hands-On Discovery at the Library’s Science Center
Students enjoyed an educational trip to the library’s Science Center, where they had the opportunity to explore, experiment, and learn through hands-on experiences. The visit encouraged curiosity and discovery while giving students an exciting way to engage with science and learning outside their usual school environment.
Gotham FC, Hello Kitty, and School Spirit!
Students and families came together for a memorable outing to a Gotham FC soccer game featuring Hello Kitty at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The experience combined the excitement of live sports with a fun, shared community event—and Gotham FC’s victory made the day even sweeter! Experiences like these help students and families build connections, create positive memories, and strengthen their sense of belonging.
Donuts at Dismissal: Celebrating the Importance of Showing Up
CIS at PS 398 also brought a little sweetness to the school day with “Donuts at Dismissal,” an event designed to encourage positive attendance and celebrate the importance of being present. The initiative created an opportunity to connect with students around how missing school can mean missing lessons, friendships, and valuable experiences.
Together, these activities reflect CIS’s commitment to making school a place where students feel connected, supported, and excited to participate. By combining learning, community-building, and creative attendance engagement, CIS at PS 398 is helping students strengthen their relationships with school and make the most of each day.
