Hello Go Greeners,
This week's feature article asks our young citizens at P.S. 110
what does our future look like? They are our future and it's inspiring to hear their thoughts.
The week ahead is full of wonderful events. Take your kids to Harmony Day hosted by NYPD 73rd & 75th Precincts in Brownsville Recreational Playground today; star gaze with the fellow amateur astronomers in Transmitter Park tonight and catch a free outdoor screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Learn about lead in our community with Eco-Schools, P.S. 110 and Franklin Garden. Roll up your sleeves at Field Day Fridays and Summer Saturdays at Kingsland Wildflowers Roof, and Trees NY and a Service Day at American Playground. And have a fun time for good causes at Meowmania 2018 with local cat rescue groups and Summer Solstice Party with the North Brooklyn Boat Club!
.
Check out these events and lots more on the
Go Green BK online calendar.
And don't forget to like us on
Facebook,
Instagram, and
Twitter.
See you all around the neighborhood!
Go Green BK!
