Dear Friends,

Norman and Elaine Brodsky and the CitiStorage staff certainly saved the day, as the Williamsburg Kite Festival hosted by P.S. 132 proved to be an absolutely amazing event. The gorgeous New York City Skyline was the backdrop for a myriad of high flying kites! Crafts, rides and fun bands entertained the children as a delicious BBQ and yummy desserts fed the hungry crowd.
From tent to tent, it was impressive to see the number of parents, staff members and community friends that volunteered their time on a Sunday afternoon for the school and the students.
Community support rang loud and clear as Assemblyman Joe Lentol greeted the crowd. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz came to cheer on the school and Williamsburg community. Lincoln Restler, District Leader was there for the school community as well. The support of I.S. 318, brought tears to many eyes, as the I.S. 318 Marching Band lead by William Akim launched this spectacular event. Principal Fred Rubino and Assistant Principal John Galvin came to enjoy the day as well.
Smiles and laughter filled the CitiStorage space. Parents, children, students and neighborhood friends enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the waterfront. This year Williamsburg Kite Festival taught a great lesson; when the entire community pulls together, and supports one another, anything we dream of can be accomplished! Hats off to the The Brodskys, the CitiStorage Staff, The P.S. 132 Kite Festival Committee, The P.S. 132 PTA Executive Board and the dedicated professionals at P.S. 132.
Wishing everyone a safe, happy and fun filled summer. Spend much needed quality time with your children and your families. Remember, the first day of school is September 8, 2011! See you in September!!!!
Educationally Yours!
Ms. Lubeck
