From fifth grade reporter Chance:

 This past Saturday, New York Cares and several kids from PS 208 went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to do a scavenger hunt.  We saw a real Egyptian Temple from long ago.  We saw a realistic shark that was modern art.  It was so amazing with some cool exhibits!
