In The News

One of our students, Anthony Cruz, was featured recently in the New York Times. PS 11 remains passionate about helping all students learn to read. The work we are doing helps to change the narrative for our students. Opening a conversation and normalizing reading challenges will help give other scholars the courage to recognize their own challenges. Most importantly, the article brings HOPE that all children will learn how to read; how we get there might look different for others.
