WHAT IS OUR MOMENT?
NEW YORK’S FUTURE BEGINS AT PS 452.
In 2026, New York watched a team rise. They were tested, questioned, and too often underestimated. They rose to every challenge and answered every doubt the same way: together.
NOW IT IS OUR TURN.
THE FUTURE IS ALREADY LEARNING HERE.
The future of New York City is already taking shape inside the halls of PS 452. Our city’s future doctors and nurses, teachers and first responders, community anchors and faith leaders, organizers, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, and athletes are learning and growing here today.
As a community, it is our responsibility to ensure that every one of them has the opportunity to become everything they can be.
THE MOST AMBITIOUS COMMUNITY-SUPPORT CAMPAIGN IN PS 452 HISTORY.
During the 2026–27 school year, Our Moment launches with a two-year goal of raising $1 million. Every dollar will be invested directly in the students, educators, and staff who make our school extraordinary.

BUILDING ON SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY
We are already deeply proud of PS 452. Our school provides children and families with remarkable experiences and support. Our Moment is about protecting what makes PS 452 special — and imagining how much more we can make possible together.
After-school care
A safe, joyful place for children to learn and play while caregivers pursue their careers.
Arts enrichment
Dance, music, and creative opportunities that help every child find their voice.
Teacher support
More time for teaching, less out-of-pocket spending on essential classroom supplies.
A community that shows up
A committed PTA and neighborhood that consistently show up for our children.
WHAT COULD OUR FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
With the support of our community, future investments could make an even bigger difference.
Cover Scholastic Book Fair costs in advance for every student.
Ensure every student begins the school year with the supplies and gear they need.
Create a welcoming, restorative break room for teachers and staff.
Upgrade art materials, fitness equipment, musical instruments, and sensory support.
This is more than a gift to one school. It is an investment in the future of our neighborhood, and the future of New York City.
Championships are not built in one season. Futures are not built by one person.
They are built together.
