First, he visited students from Goodwill’s Beacon Program at P.S. 149 in Jackson Heights where he was joined by state Senator Jose Peralta, Assemblyman Michael DenDekker and Councilman Daniel Dromm. Peralta and Assemblywoman Margaret Markey later joined Crowley at Sunnyside Community Services’ Youth and Family Services Program at the Woodside Houses. In all, supplies were distributed to 375 elementary and middle school students. “Nothing could be more important than putting our children in the best position to learn and succeed,” said Crowley. “Getting them off to the right start in school is critically important but so is making sure they have the tools to do. That’s why I’m proud to partner with our local elected officials, and our local summer programs to help adequately equip our youth with the supplies they need to make the most of their education.” “It is indispensable that we ensure that our kids have the necessary school supplies as they get ready for the upcoming school year,” said Peralta (D-East Elmhurst). “Many hard-working families have difficulties making ends meet, and buying the supplies their children need to school puts another burden in their tight budgets. I want to thank Member of Congress Crowley, and all those involved, for organizing an event that will help students succeed in the academic year by providing them these tools.” “I am proud to join Congressman Crowley and Goodwill’s Beacon Program today for this Back to School giveaway,” said DenDekker. “Every year, too many students start school without the proper supplies, putting them at a disadvantage to their peers. Events like this help us ensure that each and every child in New York City is fully prepared to begin school in the fall, and ready to have a successful academic year. I would like to thank Congressman Crowley, the Goodwill, and P.S. 149 for hosting this event and for their dedication to our children.” “The first day of school in the fall is the most exciting time of year for most youngsters, second only to the start of summer vacation,” said Markey. “Carrying a new backpack stuffed with school supplies is a necessity for this all-important day. It is a great pleasure to join with Congressman Crowley and Senator Peralta to team up with Woodside Houses/Sunnyside Community Services to make sure that these boys and girls are fully equipped and ready to learn.” “Every child should have the supplies they need to perform at their absolute best in school,” said Dromm. “For many working families struggling to make ends meet, these tools are unaffordable. I applaud Congressman Crowley for providing Jackson Heights students with backpacks, notebooks and other items they need to excel in the classroom.” Among the supplies distributed were notebooks, pens, colored pencils, sharpeners, folders and rulers. Congressman Joe Crowley is joined by Assemblyman Michael DenDekker, Councilman Daniel Dromm, state Senator Jose Peralta and students from Goodwill’s Beacon program at P.S. 149.
