Here's to New York's Finest!

This picture was taken on Nov. 11th in Times Square.  A NYC Police Officer encountered a shoeless, homeless man on the street and ducked into a shoe store, bought the man a pair of boots, and knelt down to place them on his feet.  The officer had no idea he was being photographed.  Upon being interviewed, the officer states that he keeps the $75 receipt to remind him how lucky he is. This photo has gone
viral on the internet and deservedly so!

What Should Learning Look Like?

Cranberry Day

Ever wonder where cranberries come from, how they're harvested, how to know they're ripe or how they really taste? Our first graders got to find out first hand today as a part of American Education Week.

5th Graders put on a Great Show!

Our 5th graders showcased their musical talents for American Education Week and Ms. Yanagawa produced an amazing show.

American Education Week

American Education Week is in full swing and our students are showcasing the creativity and ingenuity that makes our country special.

4th Grade Projects

It's always neat to see all the ways our students show what they have learned and our 4th graders have completed projects in science and Virginia studies.
