Principal’s Message
Dear P.S. 165 Community,
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for making this a truly memorable and successful year. Your warmth, dedication, and support have meant the world to me during my first year as principal of PS 165.
It has been an honor to serve this incredible community, and I’m so grateful for the partnership of our families, the hard work of our staff, and the joyful energy of our students. Together, we’ve built a strong foundation, and I’m excited for all that lies ahead for the PS 165 community!
I hope you all take time this summer to Sharpen the Saw (Habit 7)! Engage in activities you love, relax, and spend time with family and friends.
Wishing you all a safe, restful, and joyful summer!
