P.S. 170 The Ralph A. Fabrizio School has a diversified group of American students and a large immigrant population from Asian, Middle Eastern and South American countries. The arts offer equity and bridge the cultural, religious, gender and racial diversity of our 877 student population. Our arts department has three certified teachers for visual arts, vocal and music programs. Our arts program provides a variety of visual arts residencies, dance, music theater, student workshops, trips and art competitions to our K-5 students. During the pandemic, our teachers have provided many virtual art experiences for our students. We look forward to the 2021-2022 school year, where we will once again provide in-person the following art programs: violin, Music and the Brain keyboard, recorders, chorus, band, visual arts classes and an English-as-a-new-language theater arts program whose students write, produce and perform an original school play. Band and Chorus students perform at our annual winter and spring concerts. At our annual Cultural Festival, students perform dances, music and songs from American, Arabic, Chinese and Latino cultures. Visual Arts, band and chorus students participate in local city-wide contests such as: Fall Window Painting, Poster, Sustainability Art Calendar, District 20 Visual Arts Showcase, Brooklyn Arts Festival, Music Memory Competition and the Respect for All Contest. We are committed to fostering a lifelong love and appreciation for the arts in our students.
