December was filled with creativity and joy in the art room with Ms. Chriss! 🎨✨ Our youngest artists in pre-K created festive fingerprint reindeer ornaments, kindergarten students brought ceramic owl figurines to life, and first graders explored clay through hands-on art projects. Fifth graders spread extra holiday cheer by teaming up with students across grade levels to design hand-painted Christmas cards, which were shared with the Outreach and Mission Committee of Emmanuel Friedens Church in Schenectady, led by Nancy Spencer. We’re so proud of our students for using their creativity to brighten the season! ❤️
Let Go Ravens!

PBC Starbees Café Makes the Local News!
Pieter B. Coeymans’ very own Starbees café reopened earlier this June with a brand-new storefront! What began as a mobile coffee cart has now transformed into a cozy café space just outside the STEAM room.
Run by students in grades K–5, Starbees is a life skills project where students practice language, social, math, and communication skills by selling coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to staff on Friday mornings. Proceeds go toward a charitable cause chosen by the students themselves.
We’re excited to share that Starbees was recently featured on News Channel 10!
