Bensonhurst school holds annual carnival for local children
It was a day for the kids on Saturday, September 20 at P.S./I.S. 229, as the school hosted its second annual Carnival Fundraiser. Children and their parents were treated to an afternoon of cotton candy, rides, games and music at the schoolyard.
“Community spirit and involvement are two things we are highly engaged with,” said Assistant Principal Jared Shapiro. “Our school motto is home, school, community. We take pride in hosting events that we can bring as many people together as possible.”
Shapiro added that both pre-sale and same day ticket sales were impressive. “The kids love the music, the food, the games and they get to socialize with their peers,” he said. “They love the bounce houses the most.”
