PS 33 CANNOT LOSE SPANISH EDUCATION

There have been many studies done on the importance of young children learning a foreign language starting in Kindergarten. Young children absorb foreign languages much more easily than older students. Studies have also shown that the brains of young children have several areas in language acquisition and that these areas greatly diminish as the child grows.

Studying a foreign language improves overall academic performance. It reinforces the core subjects of reading, language arts, social studies and math .It also increases listening ability, creative and critical thinking.

There have been many changes at Chelsea Prep over this last school year. Some of these changes have been well received by parents but others have not. Losing Spanish is something that we will absolutely not stand for!

Please let your voice be heard in supporting the continuation of Spanish Language classes at PS33 Chelsea Prep Elementary School .

Please sign the petition and also, please email our Interim Acting Principal, Cindy Wang to let her know why Spanish should continue at PS 33. Everyone should email her at: cwang@schools.nyc.gov
