A Meaningful Moment
Join us
On May 8, 2026, the P.S. 273 cafeteria will be transformed into an elegant morning of empowerment, reflection, and celebration, honoring the matriarchs of the P.S. 273 school community.
As part of the Women’s Empowerment Forum, hosted by Dr. Jean Jacques, mothers of P.S. 273 are invited to a special Mother’s Day–themed brunch and high tea experience. Guests will enjoy a beautifully curated morning featuring catered selections by Brooklyn Tea, along with inspiring speakers, live music, storytelling, and meaningful moments designed to uplift and connect.
The program will include a special presentation and interactive activities led by Ashley Ortiz of Beyond Amo, creating space for reflection, joy, and shared empowerment among mothers and caregivers.
Together, we will pour into one another in celebration of sisterhood, motherhood, and the powerful influence of matriarchy within our community.
Seeding sisterhood
The morning will also feature interactive, wellness-centered activities designed to inspire growth, intention, and self-care. Guests will participate in a DIY hydroponic herb garden experience, where they can plant seeds using a clean, soil-free system—no mess, just meaningful hands-on engagement with nature and growth.
Each guest will also create a personal mason jar of intentions and affirmations, a keepsake designed to reflect their hopes, goals, and affirmations to “bloom into their best self.”
In the spirit of continued growth beyond the event, guests will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for a Click & Grow hydroponic kit, bringing the experience of mindful planting and nurturing into their homes.
These activities are designed to encourage reflection, grounding, and empowerment—reminding every guest that like the seeds they plant, they too are meant to grow, flourish, and bloom.
