• 12-13-25 Holiday Wellness and Fun Fair

  🎄✨ What an incredible day at the P.S.16 Queens Holiday Wellness & Fun Fair! 🎅💚
  
  Our school community came together to celebrate the holidays and the importance of health, wellness, and togetherness — and it was pure joy from start to finish!
  
  🍿 Popcorn, cotton candy, hot cocoa, candy canes, and sweet treats all around!
  🎁 Every student went home with a present and a smile.
  🎨 From face painting, balloons, and snow globes to gingerbread house creations — the creativity was endless!
  📚 Big thanks to our amazing partners: Commonpoint, Queens Library, the Office of Language Access, Queens CDC, and Apicha Health Center for their special appearances and continued support. And we were also visited by our new Council Member Elect @shanelforcouncil 🤍 We are strong together, community first. @commonpointny @ps16qcommonpoint @qplnyc nhsofqueens @apichachc @nycschools @nyc_district24
  And of course many thanks to @milaneventexperience for their beautiful balloon masterpiece!!! Felt like being in a real gingerbread house! 🥰
  
  Santa, his elves, and our photo booth made magical memories while families connected, shared laughter, and celebrated wellness together.
  
  At P.S.16, we believe the holidays are about community, compassion, and care — because **we’re all in this together.** ❤️

• 12-08-25 Healthy Smiles Event

  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.

Led by our Awesome Turkey Ms.O’Sullivan and Principal Rodriguez, our students showed off their balloons of superheroes to animals to wild original designs, every float was powered by student imagination, hard work, and big smiles.
