Students at P.S. 88 in Ridgewood were treated to a special screening of the movie New York Says Thank You. The film follows firefighters, touched by the national support after September 11, volunteering their time to help others affected by natural disaster.
Council Member Elizabeth Crowley addressed the students about the importance of being prepared for terrorist attacks or natural disaster and about the power of standing together as a community and giving back. She also stressed that young people can make a difference and contribute great ideas.
In 2008 Council Member Elizabeth Crowley was elected to represent the 30th Council District covering the Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, Richmond Hill, Ridgewood, and Woodhaven neighborhoods. Elizabeth was the first female and first Democrat elected to represent that seat. She has chaired the Fire & Criminal Justice Services Committee since January 2010 which oversees the Fire Department, Department of Correction, Department of Probation, and Criminal Justice Coordinator’s Office.
