They have written letters, madetelephone calls, attended meetings and demonstrated. The I.N.D. gave us a home through the use of their club, telephones and office machines without which we could not function.Today the repairs are almost finished though we are still short of supplies and without full-time teachers%u2019 assistants, but our teacher Sara Gordon is overcoming these handicaps and is running an outstanding program.The job is not finished at Carroll Park PreSchool but without the above-mentioned people it would never have gotten started. United People for Parks will continue our fight for all Parks Dept. Pre Schools and I will be happy to assist any group who is having problems with their PreSchool Program.Yours truly,Ms.) Ann Faulkner(LiMHm1 MORE!doors plywoodceiling tile sheetmcSc paneling mouldingsuspended ceiling materials paints and toolsAILS%u00a9....DELIVERY ANYWHERE.

Theaims of the pilot program are to increase voluntary integration of the intermediate and junior high schools by permitting 9th grade pupils from all elementary schools in District 15 to apply for admission to J.H.S. 142; to institute an enriched ecology-oriented science programs for entering 3th grade pupils; and to attract pupils of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to J.H.S. 142.The J.H.S. 142 science program will be expanded to include a course of study geared to the ecology of the Red Hook-South Brooklyn Community.
