December’s Book of the Month
Violet Shrink
by Christine Baldacchino and Carmen Mok
Violet Shrink doesn’t like parties. Or bashes, or gatherings. Lots of people and lots of noise make Violet’s tummy ache and her hands sweat. She would much rather spend time on her own, watching the birds in her backyard, reading comics or listening to music through her purple headphones. The problem is that the whole Shrink family loves parties with loud music and games and dancing.
At cousin Char’s birthday party, Violet hides under a table and imagines she is a shark gliding effortlessly through the water, looking for food. And at Auntie Marlene and Uncle Leli’s anniversary bash, Violet sits alone at the top of the stairs, imagining she is a slithering snake way up in the branches. When Violet learns that the Shrink family reunion is fast approaching, she finally musters up the courage to have a talk with her dad.
PS 84 in the News!
PS 84 is delighted to be featured in The Britto Doc, a film examining the life of iconic Brazilian contemporary pop artist, Romero Britto, founder of The Happiness Movement! The film showcases PS 84’s own art teacher, Ms. Rios, and her brilliant, creative first grade students. The next time you’re visiting PS 84, take a look at stunning original painting Romero Britto gifted our school in the trophy case in the main lobby!
PS 84 was recently featured on PBS’ program Table for All with Buki Elegbede. Buki visited our school to participate in a workshop centered around cultural awareness and pride wherein students created superheroes with local artist and PS 84 parent, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, creator of La Borinquena.

4th Grade Service Project
4th Graders were invited to a Celebration of Service Event hosted by NYC Service to share their community advocacy project on supporting local animal shelters’ Adopt-Don’t-Shop and Trap-Neuter-Release initiatives. PS 84 students were joined by peers from around the city who covered topics like food insecurity, and the rights of kids with disabilities, among other things.
5th Grade Field Trip
Every year, the 5th grade participates in the Seeds to Trees Residency by the City Parks Foundation. These photos are from our Field Experience at Marine Park salt marsh. Students were seining on the beach, catching, and identifying species. Those waiting for their turn to wade in the water were participating in a Beach clean up where they used grabbers to collect trash for beach stewardship.
Greenhouse CLASSROOM
Basil grown by our students in the Greenhouse.
In our gorgeous state of the art greenhouse, students learn the ins and outs of hydroponic farming. It all comes full circle on harvest day when the students are able to taste the fruits of their labor by making pesto and other delectable treats.

8th Grade Photography
Our 8th graders studied portraiture, lighting, & composition in Mr. Guzman’s Graphic Arts class. They learned how to use professional photography gear & Adobe Creative Cloud. Students modeled for, shot and edited these dramatic photos using digital cameras & software provided by our PTA. Shown above is some of the best work from this unit.
