Thanking her colleagues in government, Zhuang said, “Special thanks also go out to Principal Jessica Drzewucki for her strong leadership of P.S. 128 and the wonderful teachers and support staff, including the PTA, who are there for the students every day. P.S. 128 is an excellent public school and this funding will go a long way to ensuring that the students continue to have the resources they need in order to succeed.”
