P.S. 39ers on the Beat


Day three of no school brought our kids out as intrepid reporters to investigate the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy in our neighborhood.

Working on special edition of the "39 Times" a group of kids, mostly fourth graders, walked the area, checked in with shop-keepers, residents, and the Councilman's office, to see what they could learn about how the storm was impacting them.

They went by John Jay High School as well, which is being used to shelter evacuees from zones hit hard by the storm.
