May 21, 2019RIP Simona Aguilar
Simona Aguilar, a beautiful 37-year-old mother from PA drove to the Verrazzano Bridge and jumped this morning before 10:00 am. See here
It was reported that she was initially alive when she was found, but then died. Her family told the paper that Simona was depressed and got help. She must not have realized that she needed more help. This is so sad.
RIP Simona.
Prayers for Simona’s husband, daughter and family.

May 21, 2019Two New Charter School – Sunset Park 2019
![]()
Brooklyn Rise is a new charter school opening at 5224 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
They just announced their home over Rite Aid. Even more exciting, students will play soccer for two hours on Friday at Socceroof on 53rd Street.
Their website is accepting registration for Kindergarten and First Grade now.
Another new Charter School being setup in Sunset Park is opening. The Leap Dual-Language School is opening in the old bank at 5323 5th Avenue – this is one block away from Brooklyn Rise! This is also for K-1 grade students.
This school is promising to make your child bilingual by 5th grade. Sounds good.
If you don’t like the choice the city gave you for your child, go apply to one of these schools.
The nice thing about new schools is money is pouring into them and all the stakeholders are going to do whatever they can to make the school successful.
