PS 29 Brooklyn

It is with tremendous sadness that we are sharing the loss of Lila Margulies, mother to two PS 29 alums, Maggie and Sylvie, loving wife to her husband Brian of 20 years, and friend to so many in our community. She was beloved and will be missed immeasurably.

Today is Principal's Day! That's our principal, waving from her office. During any given year, principals work so hard for our kids, but this past year, as we all know, has been very different. At PS 29 we are grateful to have a principal like Dr. Fagin. This past year has been a 24-7 job for her, not to mention the endless changes and demands of the job she has weathered. She is always guided by what is best for our students and our community. We thank Dr. Fagin on this day for all the love she gives to our school. 🙏🏼💙💙💙
