Today is a great day for PS 290 / MNS! Thanks to the support of @JulieMenin and @NYCMayor our children have taken one GIANT step off the streets and onto a safe play space. We’re so thankful for their partnership and efforts on this city and state effort @SeawrightForNY.
🚨🚨🚨 PS 290 is one of the last schools in NYC without a gym or phys ed space. Today, that is no more! Thrilled to partner w/ @nycmayor to deliver $5.5 million in city funding to convert roof into play space! Proud to bring this victory to our community. https://t.co/70GJc7OJQL
At P.S. 290, the Manhattan New School, there’s no gym, or proper school yard. So students in third grade and up are forced to spend recess in an Upper East Side street. https://t.co/lLfFOASo6l
Tonight, I met with #PS290 parents to discuss concerns about traffic safety, improving programming and advocating for a rooftop play space! My priority is finding solutions that keep our kids safe and building a healthy community for parents and children.
