Thank you to all who donated toys for our Toy Drive to benefit Community Schools District 4! Although we only collected for a short time, the impact on the community will be felt for a long time.
Math & Science teachers hard at work during our department meeting yesterday!
Ms. Drmacich's NYC History class went on a field trip to the Lower East Side on Friday December 15th. Students had a chance to try different foods and walked lots!
Students completed projects about different immigrant groups who settled in the LES in early 1900s prior to the trip. The field trip started at Taiyaki where students had ice cream in fish shaped waffle cones. The next stop was Russ & Daughters where students tried babka, bagels and lox. The field trip ended at the Pickle Guys where students tried different flavored pickles - fill, half-sour, horseradish.
The halls have been Holiday-ed and we are almost ready for a schoolwide vote! Here is Mr. Valletutti's French Class's room, 115. There are many more to look at so start thinking of your favorites!
MCSM PA meeting December 12, 2023 @ 6pm in the library was inspirational and motivational. Please view the recording and slides on reliance strategies for families by Rachel Handler with an access link on Jupiter.
On December 8th, Ms. Drmacich's Government classes had the opportunity to have a special class speaker via Zoom, Ed Lopez-Soto. Mr. Lopez is professor at Cornell Law School and Chief Counsel for the Rochester City School District. Lopez grew up in East Harlem and attended Cornell University. As a young law student, Lopez was hired in 1976 by the House Select Committe on Assassinations to reinvestigate the 1963 murder of President John F. Kennedy. Students created questions that were sent to Mr. Lopez before the discussion. Lopez shared his experiences of traveling to Cuba to interview Fidel Castro, traveling to Mexico City, interviewing mobsters and digging through top secret documents of the CIA. Lopez was responsible for writing the Lopez Report for the Commitee . The House Select Commitee concluded "on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy."
Our guest speaker and students hard at work during our Hour of Code!
