SUPPORT THE P.S. 347 MARATHON TEAM!
P.S. 347 is an official charity partner for the TCS NYC 2022 Marathon.
We have six runners who together will raise at least $21,000 for our school.
WHO WE ARE
P.S. 347, The American Sign Language & English Lower School, is a Title I PreK-to-8 public school in NYC serving d/Deaf, hard-of-hearing (D/HOH), CODA (children of deaf adults), and hearing students.
We provide a bilingual education that values American Sign Language and Deaf culture. Our students come from all over NYC to be a part of this special place—a place where hearing differences are the norm, and everyone feels like they truly belong.
We are on a quest to become the most inclusive school for the Deaf community, and strive to create a new generation of hearing allies and advocates. We aim to provide support and solidarity to the entire NYC Deaf community.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
P.S. 347 provides its students with strong academic support and many amazing opportunities, from garden residencies to theater collaborations. But these don’t come easy. While many other public schools in our district are able to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, the P.S. 347 community cannot. The unfortunate reality is that the majority of our families live in poverty. Many of our students experience daily food insecurity and live in the shelter system. Thus our school does more than just provide an education; we help fulfill basic needs so that these children can simply make it to school everyday
P.S. 347 is able to do all we do thanks solely to the resourcefulness and dedication of our staff, parents, and our community. We work hard for every penny we raise, and we rely on grants and the generosity of those who are able to contribute. Thank you for your support!
