PARENT ADVISORY
Committee (P.A.C) !!!
Little Brooklyn values parent engagement ! A special thank you to our P.A.C. for producing such amazing work from school merchandise , to parent led school activities, to delicious bake sales and fundraisers! All of this was made possible because of our PAC. Fun fact: Every parent or guardian with a registered child at LBPKC is automatically a member of the PAC . Even though we have three sites , we are one PAC , and we truly love and celebrate our diverse community of families. We welcome all ideas ! Interested in getting involved ? Please contact our parent coordinator , Yaasmeen Brown at ybrown17@schools.nyc. In the meantime check out all the amazing things our parents have been up to!

P.S. ART
We are so proud of Sloane Park and Juliette Selvagn for having their artwork accepted into P.S. Art how amazing! P.S. Art celebrates the creativity of students from New York City’s public schools and highlights the incredible talent found in every neighborhood across the city. The Arts Office will create a special catalogue featuring student artwork that will be printed and shared online for families to enjoy. Additionally The Metropolitan Museum of Art will host a virtual exhibition of P.S. Art 2026, opening on June 9, 2026 so families everywhere can celebrate our young artists! We couldn’t be prouder of our Pre‑K superstars! Shine bright little leaders !
