PS41Q: The Crocheron School, Bayside NY

ATTENTION P.S. 41 FAMILIES

As you may be aware, our school is about to celebrate its Centennial, but our building is in need of an electrical upgrade.  It has been difficult sustaining all the modern technologies (smartboards, computers, printers etc.) because of the lack of an updated electrical system.  The cost of upgrading our school’s electrical system is in excess of $500,000.00.  There is an electrical upgrade grant that is allotted by local politicians.  If we are able to obtain this grant, our school can receive the electrical update.  Just think of all the possibilities for our children if we can have a modern electrical system and placement of further technological equipment in our school. 

Please take a few minutes to write or email our local politicians and request that our school be considered for this grant.  Here are the names and addresses:
