Our Visual Arts teachers brought the magic of gold to life!

Art teachers Ms. Miller and Ms. Hanlon shared the fascinating "Solid Gold" exhibition on display at the Brooklyn Museum with our 7th and 8th graders, exploring how this precious metal has shaped art, design, and culture through the ages. Following their presentation, students created dazzling gold snowflakes that now illuminate the Quad!✨

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle to brighten up these winter days! ❄️

📚 A-B-C, the cutest parade you'll ever see! 🎉

Our kindergartners are showing off their alphabet mastery in our annual Alphabet Parade! Swipe to see the great signs our little learners created to share with their fellow Lions as they paraded through our 94th Street campus. ✨
