PCR's 7th Annual Back to School Carnival
We had an incredible time at our 7th Annual Back to School Carnival on August 17! It was wonderful to see so many community members come out and enthusiastically participate in all the activities. We hope everyone had a chance to enjoy everything the event had to offer.
A big thank you to our sponsors for their support in making this event possible, and to our amazing volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly to set up and clean up. We couldn’t have done it without you!

learning about the history and marveling at the stunning architecture!
Trip to Governors Island
PCR took families on an adventure to Governors Island as part of our Historical Exploration of New York (HENY) program! With the help of our amazing volunteers, everyone enjoyed the island’s sights and had a blast on the playground.
Trip to Bronx Zoo
We are wrapping up summer break with an unforgettable trip to the Bronx Zoo! Our summer school kids and amazing volunteers had a blast exploring and discovering all the incredible animals at the zoo. Here's to a wild and wonderful end to the season!
Safety and Resource Fair
First we want to thank all for joining us at the Safety and Resource Fair! It was great to see so many of you come out and learn essential self-defense skills to keep yourselves and your loved ones safe. Remember, safety starts with awareness and preparation. Stay vigilant, and let's continue to support each other in building a stronger, safer community!
