Staten Island Advance: Message from SI — don’t cut our programs!
Outside PS 57 in Clifton on Thursday afternoon, parents, students and children’s advocates sought to communicate a clear message to Mayor Michael Bloomberg: They won’t stand for cuts to children’s after-school programs.
More than 170 attendees sent out that message during a rally organized by North Shore City Councilwoman Debi Rose and the Campaign for Children.
“We are here today to say to the mayor emphatically that we will not, we will not allow our after-school programs and day care programs to be lost!” said Ms. Rose.
