At PS 340 we are committed to involving our children in activities that help the community.  We hope to develop the mindset that good neighbors reach out and help one another. To that end, we choose age-appropriate, local initiatives that involve the students in supporting our New York City neighbors. 

In 2023/2024, we are excited to continue our partnership with City Harvest, Room to Grow, and Project Cicero.
