We are so proud of 4th grader Annaliese Ginsburg for leading a Service Committee bakesale to benefit the International Red Cross. Annaliese was featured on NY1 on Monday as the New Yorker of the Week - you can check it out here. The Service Committee is one of three 4th/5th grade committees (Service, Equity, Sustainability) that work on student activism with Mr. Buckley. Their work exemplifies our core values of being Caring, Curious, and Courageous!
During the month of February we celebrated Black History Month with daily “On this day…” announcements highlighting important events in African American history. Students in all classes learned about different prominent African Americans, and created a large mosaic featuring them.
Also in February, we were delighted to welcome therapy dog Ollie into the building. All of the kindergarteners, and a few students from other grades met and pet Ollie, and asked his owner Wendy questions! Ollie will be a regular visitor in the school, and we look forward to more students getting spend time with him!
March is Women’s History Month - our Book of the Month is “Nothing Stopped Sophie” by Cheryl Bardoe, which is about French mathematician Sophie Germain. In the coming weeks, classes will be doing projects highlighting other historically important women. We look forward to sharing them with you!
We are looking forward to welcoming families into the building in person soon - in the meantime, check out some of the amazing work displayed in the hallways (and a picture our our sweet Ollie!)
