The events that make up the PS 20 year. Everything here is run by volunteers and open to every PS 20 family. These events happen every year — for this year's dates, see the calendar.

A week of Scholastic books in the gym. Classes browse during the day and families shop after dismissal, with an online fair running alongside. Every purchase sends money back for classroom books.

Two mornings of performances by our students, split by grade so every family gets a seat. Held in the auditorium during the school day.

FebruaryJEDI

Brotherhood Celebration

Started almost twenty years ago during Black History Month to celebrate the African diaspora, and built around a shared meal. A morning in the auditorium, cafeteria and classrooms.

Read-a-thon

Grab a book and get cozy! For a few weeks, students log the minutes they read and grow their love for reading. Every page turned helps fund school-wide literacy programs. Track your reading, cheer each other on, and let's see how far PS 20 can read together.
