Dear Families,
We are highlighting the character trait, Perseverance, this month at P.S. 184Q. As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day, here is a perfect quote by Dr. King about this trait of never giving up.
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
Upcoming events:

Career Day – January 28th – More presenters needed. It’s not too late to volunteer! Please contact Ms. Acquista if you would like to come and speak to our students for Career day!
