Join events
We offer many ways for families to connect and have fun while helping raise money for the school. Our seasonal events include the Día de los Muertos celebration in October, Noche de Amor party in February and the Spring Fair in May.
​
Twice a year, we host Rummage Sales as an opportunity to engage the community and reduce, reuse & recycle. Movie Nights are fun family nights that raise funds through ticket and snack sales.
Participate in fundrasiers
Keep an eye on your student's take-home folder and PTA communications for general fundraisers. The PTA partners with companies that provide quality products & services appealing to a wide-range of our families, including student photos, catalog merchandise, customized art keepsakes, and PS 163 gear.

We promote literacy & build our library with an Annual Book Fair, offering both English & Spanish titles. Voters love the treats & goodies at the PS 163 Election Day Bake Sale! Additionally, we apply for grants throughout the year to subsidize our initiatives.
