I also went to P.S. 9 .I was there in the 70’s the block just before the school was a store and park on the cornner .is it still there? The store sold penny candy and cookies , and the kids then weren’t over-weight , we played outside everyday there was no video games . my second grade teacher was Mrs , Valvis 🙂
I went to P.S. 9 in the early 1960s for the “Intellectually Gifted” Program and had a great teacher in grades 4 through 6, Miss W. The building was relatively new, in tip-top shape and convenient to the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park, the library, and Botanical Gardens for class trips. P.S. 9 was the center of my world in Brooklyn at the time. I hope it’s serving its current crop of kids as well as it did kids back then.
I did read an article in the papers that the Book Hive doesn’t have a librarian because the City’s run out of funds.
As one tike in the school was quoted in the article, “How can you have a library without a librarian?”
As I always knew, kids are smarter than adults.
Nostalgic on Park Avenue
I didn’t know there was a middle school in the PS9 building.
