✨🎄 BELIEVE: A Journey to the North Pole 🎄✨

Our gymnasium was magically transformed into a North Pole winter wonderland ❄️🤍 for an unforgettable holiday experience! Students explored festive photo stations 📸, gift stations 🎁 for every grade, and enjoyed holiday music 🎶 all around.

From a huge gingerbread house 🏠🍪 to giant balloon sculptures of Santa 🎅, reindeer 🦌, and the Gingerbread Man — the joy was everywhere! The highlight of the day? A special visit and photos with Santa and his elf 🎅🧝‍♂️✨

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing donors, every child received a wonderful holiday gift 💝, making this event truly magical and memorable for our PS 16 community.

We are so grateful for our partners and supporters who helped make this possible 🙏💙

🎄✨ Believing in magic, community, and our children — always. ✨🎄

This month, Commonpoint Community School P.S. 16 Queens hosted a *Healthy Smiles* event — providing free dental exams, cleanings, and oral hygiene education for every student.

At Commonpoint, we believe that access to healthcare is more than a service — it’s an investment in our children’s confidence, learning, and future. Good oral hygiene helps kids stay healthy, focused, and ready to shine every day in school and beyond.

Seeing our students smile proudly after their checkups reminds us what community is all about — care, connection, and opportunity. Because when we support healthy habits early, we build brighter futures together.

💙 Commonpoint — Community Happens Here.

Our Self-Care Self-Love Parent Workshop was AMAZING! We loved seeing each and every family attending. We hope you had fun learning and creating your tote bags with us💙💫💛 Teaching self-care and self-love to parents is crucial because it allows them to maintain their mental and physical well-being, which directly translates to better parenting by enabling them to be more present, patient, and emotionally available for their children✨ We are in this together 🫶🏽 #communityhappenshere
