FEATURED SCHOOL
PS 295, Sunset Park Brooklyn, NY
PS 295 is housed in a shared campus, serving nearly 500 students in PK-5th grade. All of the students qualify for free lunch. In 2016, PS 295 became a WITS alumni school as we wrapped up our third year of programming. Chef Ellen and Coach Errol worked in partnership to solidify three years of wellness and to bring about a culture shift. From kitchen trainings, to widespread engagement (even the security guards played kickball at recess), to hundreds of devoured plates of vegetarian chili, this community is a great example of embracing wellness. Principal Linda Mazza says it best: “My greatest appreciation and thanks to Ellen Emerson and Errol Jones. They made this a wonderful year for our school.”
