Council Member Darlene Mealey gives $18K to After-School
New York City Council Member Darlene Mealy (District 41, Brooklyn) visited ESS’ After-School Program at PS 135 in East Flatbush in February with a twofold purpose: first, to observe how the Program is helping increase attendance and improve performance levels through music and art classes, a robotics program, and an Internet-based newscast production project; and second, to present ESS with a grant of $18,000 to support the Program’s ongoing operations at the school.
The After-School Program serves 1,400 students each year in 13 public elementary, middle, and high schools across the city. Government contracts cover a minimal base of operations, but activities like those at PS 135 depend on private gifts and targeted public grants. Thank you, Council Member Mealy!
