What an exciting day at 196 WBMS! We got a visit from Mayor Bill de Blasio & Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter! It was such an honor to have them at our school to launch the city's new initiative “NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program” which is the largest city-run program aimed at providing kids with college funds in the country. Our students were thrilled to receive a $100 savings bond in a NYC scholarship account!
