Congratulations to all of the schools and program partners on W. 61st Street and Amsterdam Ave. for a very successful "My 61st Street Day". Sachi Ferris and Miriam Fogelson of Border Crossers did a great job of bringing everyone on the block together.
If you weren't able to make it, the day was a ton of fun and the block looks great! Kids Creative began working at PS 191 on 61st Street 5 years ago and there has never been so much amazing cooperation on the block. The trees and other additions to the block look fantastic, and tons of students, parents and teachers alike made their "61st Street Super Heroes" with Kids Creative and made pledges to help the cooperation and beautification on their block continue.
