Just wanted to share with you what we do in the mornings at our school! Look at the video clips and you will see this is what we do in the mornings at PS 257-Magnet School of the Performing Arts to ensure that our students get off to a great start every morning with a happy smile & laughter, listen to some great music, do some dancing, and have some overall fun before going up to begin their day at 8:00am. We do this to promote good mental wellness! Have a great weekend folks. β€οΈππ½πππππ
