Parent Teacher Association

Fundraising

 It takes a lot to make and keep our public school strong.

State and city budgets do not come close to covering everything that students, teachers and staff need to succeed. One of the key components that makes The Richard Rodgers School of the Arts and Technology such a special place is support from our families. Because of the generosity of PS 166 families, we’re able to enrich the experiences of each and every one of our children. To see some of the activities your donations fund, visit the Events page.

Families and community members can support PS 166 by donating to the school or partnering with local and national businesses that share profits with our school.  Please click below for more information on how you can help.

Going Green

Our mission is to create a culture of sustainability, healthy living and environmental responsibility in our school and the greater community.

Environmental Stewardship

PS 166 is a Department of Education Zero Waste School.  All students are taught to compost their food scraps in the cafeteria and in classroom compost bins. A curbside composting program allows families to drop off their household compost at the school each Tuesday morning. We also run a weekly textile drive, keeping hundreds of pounds of textiles out of landfills each month.
