Dear PS16 Families,

Last week Jersey City became the first city in the state to recognize childhood cancer awareness month by raising a flag above city hall.

As we congratulated our 5th Graders in making a move to Middle School, we had to bid farewell to one pf PS16 most loyal parent volunteers of 11 years. Mrs. Maria Tolentino had an opportunity to serve on 5 different PS16 parent council teams in various capacities, has formed a PTA non-profit at Academy 1 school, and is an absolutely invaluable person, hardworking, optimistic and generous – universally loved by fellow parents, students, teachers and staff. Maria, we will miss you more than we can express. Thank you for all that you have done for our children and their teachers throughout the years!
