Get ready for a ghoulishly good time at this year’s PS99 Spooktacular! Our annual fall celebration is back and bigger than ever, bringing together families, friends, and the community for an unforgettable evening of fun, laughter, and spooky surprises.

🕹️ Games Galore
From carnival-style challenges to Halloween-themed activities, there’s something for every little ghost and goblin to enjoy. Win prizes, show off your skills, and make memories!

🏰 Bounce House Bonanza
Let the kids jump, tumble, and bounce their energy away in our festive bounce house. It’s always a hit and a great way to keep the fun going!

🍭 Food & Treats
Delicious snacks and sweet treats will be available throughout the event. Whether you’re craving something savory or sugary, we’ve got you covered.

🍬 Want to Help? Donate Candy or Shop the Wish List!
We’re still collecting candy donations to make sure every child leaves with a smile (and a sugar rush!). You can also support us by purchasing items from our Spooktakular Wish List — every little bit helps make the magic happen.

🙋‍♀️ Volunteers Needed!
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help run games, manage stations, and keep the spooky spirit alive. If you’re interested, please email the Parent Association (parents.association@ps99q.org) — your support makes all the difference!

Let’s make this year’s Spooktakular the best one yet. Costumes encouraged, smiles guaranteed!

The PS99 PA recognizes and appreciates the hard work our teachers, administrators and staff are doing despite the many challenges, to support our kids’ learning. We are thankful to our amazing school community, and look forward to finding new ways to lend support to PS99!

Please save the date and join us at our next general meeting!

Thursday 1/20 at 7 pm:
Upcoming Valentine’s Day and Read-a-Thon fundraisers.
Q&A with the principal.

Hey 99 parents! The PA is currently putting together the 2021 yearbook, and we still need some of your photos!

If you’ve participated in Picture Day, or submitted a Remote headshot, then you’re all set. Otherwise, we’d love to include your child in the grade pages!

Here’s a quick video on how to send us the photos.

The corresponding upload links will be posted on the PA Dojo.

We hope we can see some more smiling faces on those yearbook pages! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtqJ08xMxzM
