Last week our middle school scholars participated in a Read Aloud with PS160. The students had an awesome time reading a book about being Thankful and creating cards for their friends and family!

Last Sunday, we lost one of our past student to a senseless act violence. Stephon Dru Brown was a friend and student to many of us, he had a contagious smile that brought joy to all. On Thursday, we had a memorial for Stephon in the high school and a student created this video for him.
