Opened in 1951, William Alexander Middle School 51 is a gifted and talented school located in Park Slope Brooklyn. In existence for over 64 years, the electrical needs of the school have changed. With the use of computers, printers, smartboards, and air-conditioning, our buildings current electrical system is not prepared to meet the high demand of this new electronic age. We are attempting to raise enough money to re-wire the building to accommodate the increasing electronic demands. We need to be able to supply students with a comfortable learning environment.

During the months of May - October it can be unbearably hot. Our student’s classrooms can reach 98 degrees. This causes illness and the inability to concentrate and learn. We are hoping to convince our city and state officials to fund our need. Sign this petition; volunteer to be a part of the committee. Help MS 51 stay cool this summer.
