Fourth graders in the Young Engineers class recently worked on a special project: pollinator pods. They researched exactly what that was, drafted some designs, and built several that will be placed around the gardens in their school’s courtyard.

Fifth graders at the Bruno M. Ponterio Ridge Street School walked into the cafetorium, all wearing bright red t-shirts. Seated on the stage, it was a powerful display of strength and resilience.

Students were there to celebrate their completion of the D.A.R.E., or Drug AbuseResistance Education program. 

BBHS students in Spanish 2 teamed up with younger classes at BMPRSS to share fairytales they had written and illustrated as part of a class assignment. Working in small groups, they introduced key vocabulary, read their stories aloud, and, when time allowed, led fun follow-up activities like word searches and matching games to reinforce new Spanish words.

For FLES teacher Jasminne Paulino, she has always considered herself a writer. She said as a child she often spent time organizing her thoughts on paper and writing out questions to ask.

“Writing,” she said, “is a space that allowed me to be me.”

All of that time spent with pen to paper has now been formalized in her debut novel, The Extraordinary Orbit of Alex Ramirez.

The Bluebirds  processed into the auditorium at the SUNY Purchase Performing Arts Center to Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration,” as parents, friends and special guests clapped along.
