September 3, 2014

NEW YORK—First Lady Chirlane McCray today updated #FLONYC with a video about the first day of school, reflecting on sending Dante to his “last first day of public school.” The First Lady also wrote a back-to-school op-ed for the New York Daily News, remembering Dante and Chiara’s first day of pre-K and discussing the City’s education milestone of launching pre-K for more than 53,000 4-year-olds.

“Tomorrow, Bill and I will send Dante off for the first day of his last year of high school. It’s sure to be a bittersweet moment—this time next year, our not-so-little boy will be starting college,” said First Lady Chirlane McCray. “But I won’t be sad for long, because tomorrow also marks a huge victory for 53,000 4-year-olds who are experiencing their first first day of school at a high-quality pre-K program.”

Check out the video.
