The Parent Teacher Association for P.S. 175 – The City Island School provides enrichment programs and support services for all of the students, families, staff, and faculty of P.S. 175. This includes everything from character education and scholarships to buses for trips, as well as teacher appreciation & staff holiday gifts. Each year, the PTA formulates and approves a budget, which sets the purpose for fundraising. The budget can be adjusted and voted on again throughout the year as needs and programs arise. This is why any help is so essential and much appreciated.

CITY ISLAND ROADIES 5K WALK
Every few years, we team up with this amazing group to host a walk on Orchard Beach to raise money for the school. It’s truly a family fun event. This year, we are looking to host a Halloween costume walk and a trunk or treat at the end. So grab your costumes and let’s get walking!

We are always open to new ideas and suggestions!
