Through funding we receive from Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, KRVC has been managing a Community Graffiti Clean-Up program over the past several years. This fall, we launched a new component of this important initiative – an awareness and education program . This program includes Stop Graffiti Days at area schools, so far PS 24 on September 23rd and today, we held one at PS 7. The Stop Graffiti Days included presentations for the children in the 5th grade, Stop Graffiti Jeopardy! and a clean-up demonstration near the schools.
At both schools, Assemblyman Dinowitz addressed the children first. The children were also treated to a presentation by Luis Rodriguez, Community Affairs Officer from the 50th Precinct and then they played “Stop Graffiti Jeopardy!” The games were organized by Tracy Shelton, KRVC’s Executive Director.
After the assemblies, Bruce Pienkny of City Solve, a professional graffiti clean-up organization, explained the clean-up process through a demonstration in which he removed graffiti on the grounds of the schools.
