PCUE Celebrates April 28, National Day of Healthy Schools

April 28 is National Day of Healthy Schools. PCUE will join many other cities across the state and the country to educate the public about the urgency of assuring safe water and air conditions in schools and to urge public school officials to improve health and environmental safety of our schools.

PCUE leaders and organizers will set up tables in four Jersey City neighborhoods (Greenville, Heights, Downtown, and Journal Square), distribute information, and provide giveaways to children.

On April 19th, PCUE initiated a postcard campaign to Charles Epps, Schools Superintendent, urging him to safeguard our children's health and well-being in schools. On the National Day of Healthy Schools, PCUE will ask parents and Jersey City residents to participate in our postcard campaign.

If you you cannot sign our postcard, you can call Charles Epps at his office: 201-915-6210.

Please tell him to notify parents when the remaining 39 schools will be tested for lead in the drinking water and ask when he plans to tell parents about the results of the test.
