Gifting Our Children the Love of Literacy

On Wednesday, December 19, 2018, PS 171Q, Long Island City High School and Zone 126 teamed up once again to host the second annual Cocoa Mingle.

Community School Directors, Katey Ray from PS 171Q and Michelle Makabali from Long Island City High School worked to coordinate the pipeline partnership. LICHS students from the band and chorus performed for the students of PS 171Q, while the Culinary Arts & Hospitality students served cookies and cocoa during the event.
On Friday, December 21, 2018 the festivities continued with a Sing Along and a special visit from Santa and Rudolphina the Zone Reindeer. Each child was provided a free backpack filled with goodies that included rulers, pencils, an educational learning game, and a brand new book to help students build their own personal home library.

A wonderful time was had by all.
