Scholars from PS4's PRIDE Saturday Academy, student-musicians from PS4's Guitar Club (funded by Midori & Friends Organization), as well as student members the Jazz Power Initiative Ellington Poets Society celebrated the PS4 adaptation of author Andrea Pinkney's book, Duke Ellington! On the evening of May 24, a full auditorium of scholars, parents, teachers, special guests, local politicians and Duke Ellington's very own granddaughter Mercedes Ellington enjoyed dancing, singing and poetry performed by students from kindergarten to grade 5. This was truly a celebration of our community.
On behalf of Principal Stevens, special thanks to Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez (pictured above), Jose Cantu (Director), Mercedes Ellington (granddaughter of Duke Ellington) and the wonderful faculty and staff of PS4 for their dedication, continued efforts and motivation toward supporting our scholars.
