🎓✨ Our 5th graders took the next step on their middle school journey with a visit to Urban Assembly! They had the opportunity to connect with PS 197 Harlem alumni and hear firsthand about life as a middle schooler, from academics and extracurriculars to building new friendships. Thank you to our alumni for inspiring the next generation of leaders! 💙💛 #PS197Harlem #FutureMiddleSchoolers #HarlemProud #StudentVoices

Four years with PS 197. And the wonder never gets old! 🌿❤️🐦
Yesterday, PS 197 students returned to City to Sanctuary for another day of discovery. And what a day it was!
A tufted titmouse, a black-capped chickadee, and a white-breasted nuthatch gave students the rare opportunity to encounter wild birds up close, gently touch their feathers, and learn from naturalist Steve how bird banding helps scientists understand bird populations and the health of our environment.
One student told us this was her eighth visit. What does she love most? Being able to actually touch and explore nature, rather than just look at it.
Another student, who had never touched a bird before, was so excited that he was invited to release one back into the wild. He couldn’t wait to tell his mother about the sanctuary and wanted to bring her along. When he learned he would be returning, his excitement grew even more.
And one girl told us the bird’s soft feathers reminded her of her favorite coat, a gift from her grandmother. ❤️
Four years of experiences like these don’t happen by accident.
They happen because of educators who believe learning should be engaging, innovative, and deeply connected to children’s academic, social, and emotional development.
We are especially grateful to Dr. Natasha Spann, PS 197’s principal, whose educational vision aligns so closely with what we’re building at City to Sanctuary. Dr. Spann has championed this partnership from the beginning, introduced our program to other schools across Harlem and Washington Heights, and yesterday joined her students at the sanctuary to share in their discoveries!
And a special thank-you to Ms. Ramos and Ms. Tucci, who have been with us since day one. Four years of bringing students back, encouraging their curiosity, and helping make these experiences part of their education.
To the entire PS 197 community: thank you for believing in the value of learning beyond classroom walls and for growing with us year after year.
Here’s to four years of partnership, countless discoveries, and many more to come! 🌿🐦❤️

🐦🌿 A WILD Adventure in Learning! 🌳🔍
Our third graders took their learning beyond the classroom and into nature at Westmoreland Sanctuary in Mount Kisco, NY! 🍂
Our young scientists had the incredible opportunity to learn about bird banding—how researchers carefully capture, identify, measure, and place special bands on birds to help track their movements, migration, and populations. 🐦🔬
Through this hands-on experience, our students discovered how scientists study and protect wildlife while gaining a deeper appreciation for the natural world around them! 🌎💚
A huge thank you to the wonderful educators at Westmoreland Sanctuary for bringing science to life for our Golden Jaguars! 🐆💛

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, the PS 197 Harlem community pauses to remember and honor the lives lost. We recognize the extraordinary courage of the first responders and the many everyday Americans who stepped forward to help others. We also remember those we have lost in the years since from the lasting effects of that day.
May we honor their legacy through acts of kindness, compassion, unity, and service—not only today, but every day. We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙
