Bring Back the Pool!

The school is in the final stages of a $5 million campaign to bring the pool back to the community. Eleven New York State senators and assembly members, as well as a private foundation and several donors, have come together to pledge $4.5 million toward the project. We need your help to raise the final $500,000 to make this project a reality. If you believe in the importance of water safety and swim lessons for our children, please contribute today to Bring Back the Pool!
