The P.S. 58 Specialty Team is excited to announce a new, collaborative project students are embarking on to come together as a school community and to celebrate Harry Belafonte, a Jamaican-American singer, songwriter, activist, and actor. Each specialty class will be contributing their artistic and creative work by singing, playing, dancing and making art to reflect his song “Turn the World Around.”
We will combine all of the students' work in the form of a video to be shared with the P.S. 58 Community.
Here is a sneak preview of "Turn the World Around".

School Renaming - For the past few years, we’re proud to acknowledge that our PS 58 community has been actively reflecting on our roles in the fight to make Brooklyn and America a more inclusive, anti-racist place. Part of this journey includes reflecting on the passive ways we allow racism to persist. The namesake of PS58K, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, owned more than a hundred slaves. Changing the name of our school is a crucial step forward for our community.
Past Events:
PS 58 and PS 32 joined forces for a march and rallied for Black Lives Matter on Juneteenth, June 19, 2020!
This march took place on an important holiday for Black Americans, Juneteenth! It commemorates the day in 1865 when news was delivered to Galveston, Texas, that all previously enslaved people in Texas were free. To honor this day, we wanted to make sure that our non-Black community members know about and understood Juneteenth, and decentered themselves in the celebration of the day. To prepare, we encouraged families and staff to learn more about the holiday, and what it stands for. We found two videos that can be helpful in starting this education. Many classes also incorporated Juneteenth activities to engage all students in understanding the importance of this holiday and movement.
