PS/IS 104 hosts International Brotherhood Tea
PTA Presidents' Council leader cited for bringing parents together
At PS/IS 104 in Bay Ridge, the students wear T-shirts emblazoned with a Superman logo on the front. On the back is a slogan, “PS/IS 104 puts a stop to bullying.”
Tolerance, acceptance and brotherhood are all part of the curriculum at the school, according to Principal Marie J. DiBella. “The children learn how to be kind to one another,” she said during a school assembly on Thursday.
The school, which has students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade, has a history of honoring people who exemplify the spirit of cooperation. Each year, the PTA of PS/IS 104 hosts an International Brotherhood Tea and bestows the Brotherhood Award to a recipient who has worked to bring people together. “The Brotherhood Tea has been a part of the 104 culture for countless number of years,” DiBella said. The tradition dates back over 40 years, she said.
