💜💛 HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THIS?! RIGHT HERE IN OUR LOWER EAST SIDE! 🎨✨🗳️
What a beautiful moment for our community! One of our very own District 1 schools, PS 134, is now home to this AMAZING NYC Suffrage Mural, located at Grand Street and East Broadway! 😍👏
And can we talk about the timing?! This beautiful mural was unveiled just in time for EARLY VOTING, which starts TODAY! 🗳️💪
This isn’t just a colorful wall. It’s a celebration of HISTORY, COURAGE, WOMEN’S RIGHTS, and the generations of incredible women who fought to make sure our voices could be heard! From the women’s suffrage movement to the women continuing to make history today, this mural reminds us how far we’ve come and the importance of never forgetting those who paved the way. 💜
As a President, I cannot express how proud I am that this incredible piece of art is right here in our very own District 1! Our children get to walk past a piece of history, ask questions, learn, dream big, and be reminded that their voices matter too! 🥹❤️
A HUGE round of applause to the incredibly talented artists and curators who brought this masterpiece to life! 🎨👏

"In afterschool, we want to help our young people set clear goals and see what's possible for their future."
Across all five boroughs, community organizations embedded in their neighborhoods are part of a growing citywide network showing young people that their dreams are backed by tangible assets and a community of support ready to help them reach their goals. In @district1nyc in the Lower East Side, @univsettlement is reinforcing the connections their kids are making at school to the money growing in their NYC Scholarship Accounts, pairing that with concrete planning and career exploration after school. During their Career Day, students were encouraged to visualize their future potential and break down steps they could take to get there — taking cues from University Settlement’s afterschool activities where kids have met mentors, learned about their passions, and gained exposure to different careers.
Shoutout to University Settlement Senior Director of Youth Programs Greg Robertson, COMPASS Program Director Shakil Gafur, and team; P.S. 63 Parent Coordinator Kirk Riley and the @staracademyps63nyc team; District 1 Family Leadership Coordinator Christina Shahibzada and the district team; and Lower East Side families for pooling resources and creating spaces in and outside of school that encourage students to think ambitiously about their futures.

For #ThrowbackThursday, we’re looking back at everything we accomplished together last school year and bringing that energy with us into another school year full of new milestones, growth, and learning.
🏃🏽School Year 25-26 saw a record number of 134 Community Scholarships, including the 1st borough-wide Community Scholarship by @queensdistance with proceeds from the Queens Marathon.
💡@nychagram tenant leaders exchanged innovative ideas to support asset-building for kids in their developments.
💭The 2025 Convening brought leaders together from across the city + state to envision the future of community wealth building.
🌳During #NYCScholarshipMonth, we announced that students’ NYC Scholarship Accounts had surpassed the $50 million mark!
🎊Alumni led the largest #NYCPublicSchoolAlumniCommunityScholarships campaign to date. Over 3 years, more than $1 million has been invested in students’ accounts!
🎤 At @nycschools #FinEdFest, we joined in advancing the strongest financial foundation for students’ futures.
🎨Neighborhood Settlement Houses modeled how the Program can be part of afterschool programs in @district1nyc
📈Civic, school, and community leaders celebrated #529Day and the Capital Stack of assets we’re building for every child across every NYC Neighborhood.
🤝Community partnerships provided culturally responsive financial empowerment resources and training to remove barriers as families access opportunities to save for college.
🎉Mayor Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced a historic investment: @nycschools kindergarteners will now receive an initial $1,000 in their NYC Scholarship Accounts for their futures.
🏫450+ leaders came together for the NYC Kids RISE Schools Convening, celebrating remarkable momentum and looking ahead to what’s possible during a school year when, for the first time in NYC history, nearly every public elementary school student will have an NYC Scholarship Account.
🎓 Schools celebrated students graduating with money already set aside for higher ed, including the 1st class of 8th graders to graduate with NYC Scholarship Accounts and head to high school!
Here’s to more, together, in the new school year!

💜✨ BIG NEWS FOR DISTRICT 1 FAMILIES! ✨💜
I am SO excited and proud to announce something truly special coming to District 1!
Soon, every school in District 1 will have a District 1 Care Room a dedicated space created to support our families with the things they need most. ❤️
These Care Rooms will help provide food, clothing, essential items, resources, and other necessities for families in our school communities, including families living in shelters or experiencing difficult times.
A very special THANK YOU to Carry Chan for making this vision a reality and taking it above and beyond! Carry, thank you for always listening to our families, hearing what we are asking for, and finding ways to make it happen. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our District 1 families do not go unnoticed. 🙏🏽💜
I am especially proud that District 1 is leading the way with this initiative. This is what it looks like when we listen to our families and turn their needs into real action.
Our schools are more than places where our children learn they are part of the heart of our community. When one of our families needs support, we want them to know that District 1 is here for them.
💜 District 1 cares. District 1 listens. District 1 shows up for our families.
So proud of what we are building together! 🙌🏽✨

Community Organizations across the city are working to use the NYC Kids RISE #SaveForCollege Program as a tool to support their kids to dream big and reach important educational milestones. Educational Alliance in the Lower East Side came up with an art show as a way to connect with kids and families in their neighborhood. While tapping into kids’ creativity, they helped students use art as an outlet to visualize their college and career dreams and make real-time connections to the community of support and tangible assets they have to pursue their goals. The art show has become a way for Educational Alliance to boost their kids’ belief in their own high potential and confidence in their college-bound identities.
Thank you to Bernadette Ortiz, Elementary School Program Director, and the @edalliance team for showcasing creative ways to reinforce kids’ emerging aspirations for the future, during afterschool, at home, and in the community.
