Civics FOr All

Ms. Blastos

Welcome Parents!

My name is Ms. Blastos. I am the Civics for All teacher at P.S. 8.

Thank you for giving me the chance to teach your children this very important subject. I value the opportunity to strengthen the opportunity your children have to develop the skills and knowledge related to democracy. Our goal is to empower the students with the mindset that they have the opportunity to become engaged citizens and share their voice.

On this site, I will showcase some of the students' work and projects and of course, the spirit of "student voice".

Please keep in mind that we will share pictures periodically of children "in action" but I can only publish pictures of childen who have a signed Media Release form from the NYC Department of Education on file.

Civics for All

The DOE believes civics education is an essential part of every student’s core academic experience. We launched the Civics for All initiative to strengthen opportunities for students to develop skills and knowledge related to democracy. The goal is for all our students to become engaged citizens who can think critically and are empowered to chart the course that our city and country take. Civics for All helps schools support students in making connections between history, current events, and democratic structures.

Civics for All is a class the students may have during their weeek as a "special.".

Meet and Greet...Keep up your hard work students!!!
