PTA

We are an enthusiastic, diverse and fun-loving group of caregivers, teachers, administration, and staff at PS172. Our mission is to build and support a school community that is connected, engaged, and equitable. We offer time, talent and support to the ongoing education, enrichment and social/emotional wellbeing of the P.S.172 community. We strive to cultivate community participation and engagement, and provide the funding and programs needed to sustain a rich learning environment for our students. We are a charitable nonprofit and 100% volunteer driven.

We welcome all current members of the PS172 family to join us! Whether you have 10 minutes, 1 hour, or a whole morning available, we have a volunteer opportunity for you.
