NEast Village, Manhattan

A message from KRS-One and Principal Mark Federman, who has slept in a tent outside of East Side Community High School, on why it should win $500,000 in the Kohl’s Cares For Kids Campaign.

ESCHS is the only public community school from New York City on the list.

The deadline is Sept. 3, and Federman says if his school looks likely to make the top 20, he will camp out until then.

Federman has a long list of improvements he would make if his school won the cash, including buying more computers, building a gym, improving arts and dance programs and helping kids fund school trips.

“Imagine the possibilities,” he added.

Indeed.
