• PS 54 Celebrates World Read Aloud Day with Community Leaders

  At PS 54, our students—and community—came together to celebrate the joy of reading on World Read Aloud Day! Local leaders, volunteers, and special guests joined classrooms throughout the school to share stories, spark curiosity, and model a lifelong love of literacy. From powerful picture books to meaningful conversations, the day emphasized the importance of reading aloud as a way to build confidence, deepen comprehension, and strengthen connections across our school community. We are grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this year’s celebration memorable and inspiring for our young readers!

  P.S. 54 is proud to participate in Climate Action Day by focusing on ways we can reduce energy use and help care for our planet.

  On this day, our school community will work together to conserve energy by:

  • Turning off lights when they are not in use

  • Powering down computers and smartboards

  • Using natural light whenever possible

  • Closing doors and windows to save energy

  Saving energy helps protect our Earth, keeps our air clean, and creates a healthier future for everyone.
