  • Published Poets of I.S. 220 In the fall of 2014, students at John J. Pershing were given an opportunity to enter the Creative Communications Poetic Power poetry contest.  Assistant Principal, Dr. Melucci brought this contest to the school’s attention.  In her years as a former middle school ELA teacher, Dr. Melucci had her own students enter this contest and become published poets.    In the fall of 2014, Pershing students submitted an original poem for a chance at publication and cash prizes.  In the winter of 2015, Mrs. Jennifer Mariano’s  ELA students Tina Dinh and Tony Weng were notified of their acceptance for publication!  These two 7th grade students are now published poets!

  • SELMA On Friday January 9th an email was sent out to teachers regarding an opportunity for middle and high school students to go to their local movie theaters to view the movie SELMA, for FREE. With only one week of free viewing allotted, 7th grade teachers quickly took advantage of this opportunity and were able to secure 100 free tickets. On January 13th 90 students went to the Bay Ridge Alpine Theater to see the movie SELMA in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. day.   We are truly grateful for this opportunity.  Students were moved, reminded, inspired, and became knowledgeable of the events that took place at this turning point in history.

  • New Books arrive at Pershing This past October Pershing had its most successful book fair to date with almost $7000.00 in gross sales.  From this, the school was granted over $4000.00 dollars in “Scholastic money” to spend on new books. With the money, the school was able to purchase over 400 new books!  As English teachers announced the new arrivals, students eagerly clamored for new titles like The Fault in Our Stars, Wonder, and Smile. Many classrooms even have waiting lists of students yearning for the latest books! This unprecedented enthusiasm towards literacy and reading is part of a larger culture of learning Pershing teachers instill in their students every day. The new books are just the icing on the cake. Pershing students ...
