  🌈 What an AMAZING day at the inaugural Pride Color Walk on June 7th! 🌈
  
  Created by P.S.19Q’s very own Principal Krystle Jimenez, this walk brought together students, families, and staff from P.S.16, P.S.19, P.S.110, & M.S.311 in a powerful show of unity, support, and celebration for Pride. When schools and families join forces, we create a community where everyone feels seen, supported, and loved—and that’s exactly what we witnessed!
  
  From colorful festivities to joyful laughter, fun was had by all. We can’t wait to see even more of our community come out and celebrate with us next year!
  
  A huge THANK YOU to Principals Krystle Jimenez, Katherine Rodriguez, Elisa Gomez, and Beth Hert for their vision and leadership. Shout out to the incredible staff who worked so hard to make this event a success from planning and coordination, and to NYPD 110pct for keeping everyone safe. Thank you to the Parks Department for letting us kick off at The Park of Americas, and to Success in Motion for helping us make this event truly unforgettable! @elmhurstcommunitypartnership came through with so much love and support! Thank you for your contributions❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙
  
  Together, we shine brighter. See you next year! 🏳️‍🌈✨

• 04-01-25 Playground Grand Opening

  🎉 Exciting News for P.S.16 Queens! 🎉
  
  Today, Interim Acting Principal Katherine Rodriguez among our amazing staff- proudly unveiled our brand-new turf and playground area with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony! After more than half a decade without recess, our students finally have a safe and vibrant space to play, socialize, and enjoy the outdoors every day—weather permitting.
  
  Recess is essential for elementary school students, providing them with much-needed physical activity, social interaction, and a mental reset to help them thrive both in and out of the classroom. Seeing the pure joy and excitement on our students’ faces today reminded us just how important it is for kids to have time to run, laugh, and play freely.
  
  A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible—our children deserve this! 💙 💫💛#PS16Queens #RecessReturns #PlayMatters
