FAMILY COLLEGE TRIP to Manhattanville College
WE recently took high school students and members of their families on a college trip to Manhattanville College. Families toured, met with admissions and financial aid departments, and enjoyed lunch with the college students after touring the dorms. Victoria Vasquez said she may have found her school after the visit – it’s small, supportive, and not too far away but outside NYC.

RECYCLE and REUSE: Armed with Vivid Imaginations and Hot Glue Guns HS students transform trash into Art!
This is our plastic bag project. We were inspired by local artist, Beth Garrett who visited us and helped us begin the sculpture. We first collect plastic shopping bags and bottles and researched about the impact of plastic bags and our environment. Beth visited us and helped us create the armature and begin apply plastic bags to create bulk. The students hot glued the plastic bags until they achieved the desired bulk and form of the animal head they wanted to create. They used a final layer of bags to smooth out the surface and then added details of the animal. These sculptures are 2-3 feet tall. -Jessica Sinclair, HS Art teacher.
Essential Question: How do I use what I know to make connections between my academic work and life lessons to the natural world?
