P.S. 132's Playground Dedication

P.S. 132's Playground Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held on Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Thanks to incredible public and private donations by local Councilwoman, Diana Reyna, and the Cindy Lynn Sherwin Memorial Foundation, P.S. 132 was fortunate enough to have our new playground created by Out2Play. Diana Reyna shows strong leadership on issues which are vitally important to the Williamsburg community, such as youth services and education. The Cindy Lynn Sherwin Memorial Foundation was established to promote health and wellness programs with the objective of enhancing physical health, personal satisfaction and emotional well-being among various segments of the US population. Cindy Sherwin was a personal trainer, nutritionist and educator. She was passionate about fitness, well being and healthy living. At the young age of 33, she tragically died of an aneurism while training for her first Ironman Competition.
The ribbon cutting ceremony at P.S. 132 included live entertainment, by the Hungry March Band, a student musical presentation led by TADA's musical director, Stephanie Wells, yummy refreshments and a day filled with fun outdoor activities! Each student of P.S. 132 had an opportunity to participate in the day's festivities. A wonderful day was shared by all as the school community celebrated the heroes that transformed the dream of an amazing new schoolyard into a reality!

An incredible and inspirational evening was shared by all when the 5th Grade students of P.S. 132 presented "Everyday Heroes" in our school auditorium.
Under the guidance of professional TADA! teaching artists and the amazing 5th Grade teachers, 5th Grade students wrote and performed an original musical based upon heroes, a unit of study in their character education program. It was decided by the 5th Grade students to use their performance as a venue to honor Everyday Heroes from the Greenpoint/Williamsburg Community. Their show was dedicated to a local fallen hero, Daniel F. Pudjak.
For 18 weeks, our students became fully emersed in all aspects of writing and performing a musical. Many long hours were dedicated to practice, set, costume and prop design. The end result was simply magnificant!
On the night of the performance, our auditorium was crowded with proud parents, staff members, teachers, community friends, and of course, Local Everyday Heroes. Students presented our everyday local heroes with honorary awards on behalf of our school community. Local precincts, firehouses, councilmembers and our community superintendent were honored. The students did an incredible job and dazzled the audience with their star studded performance! Kudos to the 5th Grade teachers and students on a job well done! BRAVO!!!
