Who We Are
“You can’t not like animals at PS 88,” said the Penny Harvest coach. It’s engrained in the school culture as evidenced by the names and decisions of their two Philanthropy Roundtables: the “Wild Cats” and “Star Boys.” Both gave all of their support this year to an animal shelter in memory of their longtime school secretary...
