• Carnival Day 05-05-25

  This past Saturday, students and families from grades K–2 and our entire Saturday Academy came together for an unforgettable day of fun, laughter, and community. Families enjoyed popcorn, cotton candy, spin painting, arts & crafts stations, flower pot decorating and planting, carnival games, a balloon jump house, and exciting inflatable obstacle courses!
  
  We are so grateful to all of our amazing partners who stopped by and helped make this event possible, each bringing their own activities and smiles to share with our families. Special thanks to @commonpointny, @beingegypt, @nyckidsrise, @blueballoonparties, @doingarttogether, Anthem Health, and to @eryckamontoya & team for dedicating your time to create meaningful arts and crafts experiences with our students.
  
  A heartfelt thank you to Interim-Acting Principal Rodriguez for fostering a fun-loving, supportive community. Events like this are so important in an elementary school because they help nurture joy, curiosity, and a sense of belonging—laying the foundation for lifelong learning and positive school experiences.
  
  And of course, an enormous THANK YOU to all of the incredible staff who volunteered their time to help set up, run, and clean up this wonderful event. Your dedication makes all the difference!
  
  We can’t wait to do it again next year!

• Civics For All Soapbox Speeches 03-14-25

  This school year, we launched the Civics for All initiative to enhance opportunities for students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for active participation in democracy. Our goal is to empower all students to become engaged community members who think critically and contribute meaningfully to shaping the future of our city and country.
  
  As part of Civics Week, we introduced our students to Project Soapbox, a public speaking initiative that challenges young people to voice their perspectives on issues affecting their communities. Through this initiative, students not only identify and discuss pressing concerns but also propose and advocate for solutions to improve their schools, neighborhoods, and the lives of their peers.
  
  We extend our sincere appreciation to the teachers and students whose dedication and enthusiasm made this event a success. Student voices matter, and initiatives like Project Soapbox reinforce the importance of civic engagement, inspiring young people to drive meaningful change in their communities.
