Fort Greene Schools to Host New York Cares Day

Volunteers wanted to help spruce up local educational institutions.

J.H.S. 265, P.S. 369 and P.S. 67 in Fort Greene will help kick-off the 21st annual New York Cares Day Fall with an opportunity for volunteers to come out and help enhance school amenities. 

The local schools join dozens of others across the five boroughs that volunteers will spruce up.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., participants will paint murals on playgrounds and throughout indoor hallways, plant bulbs, update school yards with fresh line games, organize classrooms and lead sports clinics for students to participate in.
