Impacting the community…
On Saturday April 6th WHSAD students were joined by members of the Greenpoint Youth Court to remove graffiti in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. This volunteer work is part of an effort being made by the Greenpoint Chamber of Commerce to improve the neighborhood, and spur economic growth. Our students gave up a part of their Saturday to remove two blocks worth of graffiti right off the exit of the Pulaski Bridge on McGuinness Boulevard, which is an entry point to Greenpoint.
