••• From Community Board 2: “Where will your children go to middle school?” I recommend Switzerland. “This is a question that plagues parents in the Village. After years of focused energy by parents, community members and elected officials, 75 Morton is on deck to become a new school for the Greenwich Village. What type of school should it be? Come to an informational session on Thursday, January 17 to learn more.  The session will focus on specifics about: the building and area; ideas from local schools for the types of school(s) to house in the building; updates from elected officials; next steps and how to voice your opinions. The meeting will take place on Thursday, January 17, 6:30-8:30 PM, at PS41, 116 W. 11th St. It is sponsored by Community Board No. 2 and the Community Education Council of District 2.
