AROUND CAMPUS
Up on the Roof Garden
In early June , eighth graders assembled planters , potted soil , and planted herbs and wildflowers on the Seventh Floor terrace adjoining the fitness space at school . The 2023 Class Legacy Gift was the creation of the roof garden to grow flowers and greens that will be used for the academic program .
Enter the Oval Office
The second grade boys continued building on their historical knowledge of New York and the American Revolution during a field trip to the New-York Historical Society . With the guidance of N-YHS educators , the boys observed primary artifacts , touched objects , and viewed a variety of paintings ; all centered around the American Revolution and the creation of our American Union . Not only did our boys work and think like historians , making observations and interpretations of artifacts from long ago , they also made a special visit to the museum ’ s replica Oval Office .
Builders , Collaborators
Alpha and Omega boys collaborated to build blocks during a shared free choice session . Noted Alpha Teacher Jill Cacciola , “ We wanted to build connection for the two classes , introduce the Alpha boys to their teachers next year , and provide opportunities for leadership in Omega .”
