Overcrowding Solutions in the works!
Foundling K-5 Elementary School to be built on the corner of 6th Avenue and 17th Street!
In a schoolyear dominated by the topic of school overcrowding we have had successes in businesses and community advocates and their willingness to prioritize this issue. The Rudin Corporation took seriously parent concerns across the Village and helped liaise for a new elementary school to be built in the West Village area at the Foundling Hospital. This generous act of listening and advocacy affects families who are working to making Greenwich Village a growing community for decades to come.
The PS 41 community wants to thank and acknowledge the Rudin Corporation for this visionary step and hopes it is a business model for other organizations to put school overcrowding first on their agendas.

PS.PAC:
The PS41 Parent Advocacy Committee tracks political events that bear on the experiences of kids in public school. The last few months we have been very active trying to get more schools built downtown! To weigh in in support of any of these initiatives, go to the PS.PAC page for more detailed information. We very much need help from other parents, attending meetings and communicating with public officials about concerns that are important to PS41 and public schools generally. Please send us your email address at PS.PAC@PS41.org so we can inform you of important opportunities to support our schools, and let us know if you are willing to volunteer.

41 school spirit!
PS41 kids voted on school colors on May 9 and embraced their responsibility to the earth by picking the “sky and earth” combination!
They are also learning the new PS41 School Song written by Phil Smith and supported by music teacher Eve Zanni.

153 Millions Styrofoam Trays

That is what NYC public school cafeterias city wide throw out each year and end up in landfills. That equals roughly 4.25 million per week or 850 thousand per day! The environmental impact is astounding as Styrofoam takes centuries to decompose. See the PS41 Green Initiative page to find out more about this and to read what PS41 is doing to "Go Green".


PS41 afterschool choices:
From homework help to sports, music to foreign languages, PS41 is proud to offer many excellent afterschool choices for kids seeking enrichment, activities and homework help. In addition to the PS41 PTA partnership with the McBurney YMCA, which offers many choices, there are other great afterschool providers such as Allan's Afterschool (led by PS41 parent Victoria Ruggiero), Wendy's Drama Program, Gil's Sports and Children's Aid, and they all offer pickup directly in the PS41 yard. For more information visit the Afterschool Page.
