PS41-The Greenwich Village School is a vibrant public elementary school located in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York City. We are fortunate to have a wonderful school community made up of an enthusiastic and dedicated faculty, parents and students.

This year we are facing unprecedented budget cuts which will have an immediate impact on basic educational programs, like math and literacy intervention, as well as enrichment in music, drama, art and dance.

Without the funds raised by events such as the auction, PS41 would not be able to provide the wonderful educational programs needed by our children. Though we are all feeling the effects of the economic downturn, we ask you to help us ensure that we do not sacrifice the essential education of our children.
