1. Our kids are counting on you!
What is Count On Me?
Count On Me is PS 163’s annual fundraising campaign to support the many programs that makes our school extraordinary!
Our collective support enriches our children’s education, and ensures our kids have the best possible public school experience.

Library Books (both Spanish and English)
In-Class Chess Program

Why say Count On Me?
PS 163 is able to offer all these programs because of the generous support of its families. The Department of Education continues to cut school budgets. Our kids pay the price. Without your financial contributions, at any level, PS163 could not have these programs that benefit of all of our kids.
We are asking for participation from EVERY family as generously as you can.
Our kids are counting on you!
