PS 42 Camp Closing:
Earlier this month we were notified by the School Construction Authority that P.S.42 is scheduled for a lighting upgrade as requested by the Department of Education. After many discussions and limited options, we are obliged to close our Summer Fun Camp this year so that the construction work can be completed.
Look for 2013 Summer Camp Newspage for the latest information:
