The Bright School Kits that were scheduled to ship directly to the school have arrived! We ask for some assistance on Friday, September 6 to to help sort the bundled kits by grade so they can be distributed to the correct classroom. Sign up on Konstella to volunteer.

For those who purchased kits to ship to your homes, please sit tight. The BSK warehouse staggers deliveries by school start date, not by purchase date. If you have any questions, please reach out to the BSK customer support directly with your order #:  

Our team is working around the clock to make sure you receive your order. We have team members onsite at our warehouse and others responding to emails & message requests. The BEST way to reach us is by sending us a Facebook DM or with an email to support@brightschoolkits.com  To expedite the process, please provide us with your order number. You are also welcome to include the name of the school for which the order was placed. We understand that this is extremely frustrating and we deeply apologize. 

For those who missed ordering through Bright School Kits, feel free to purchase supplies on your own. Lists are available here: ps20.org/supplies

Dear PS 20 Graduates,

It has been incredible to see you all grow up before our eyes.  Many of you entered PS 20 when you were only 4 or 5 years old.   You came here as little kids, curious about the world around you and eager to learn.  Over the years you have become leaders of this school community, modeling for your classmates what it means to be a PS 20 student, a caring friend, an advocate and a global citizen.  The PS 20 community will miss your smiles, your humor and your leadership.

The PTA congratulates you on your accomplishments and wishes you the best of luck as you take on new challenges in the coming years.  We hope you will continue to fondly remember the time and experiences you have had here at PS 20 and maintain the friendships you made here.

Sincerely,

The PS 20 PTA Executive Board
