About Our PS 145 School Emblem

by Barbara White

In March of 1991, the decision was reached by our parents and administration that the students of P.S. 145M would begin to wear school uniforms. To increase school pride and a sense of belonging, embroidered emblems would be made available to attach to the shirt pockets. Students were asked to submit ideas for the design that would depict the unique qualities of our school. Under the leadership of Ms. Leyda Cruz, The Parents' Association selected 5 of these designs. These design ideas were then incorporated by parent/artist David Glenn White into the final rendition that we are still using with pride today.
