At this meeting, neighborhood parents met with Sandra D'Avilar, the PS 9 principal, to discuss supporting the school through raising funds to renovate the playground. We were joined by Letitia James, our City Councilwoman, and Chris Owens, a recent candidate for U.S. Congress. Two subcommittees were formed: one to envision what the new playground will look like; the other to come up with a strategic plan and begin raising funds. Both subcommittees were charged with coming up with a list of possible resources and a timeline before the end of the year.
