From fifth grade reporters Mahmed and Abdoul:

 We got to see a Liberty game in Madison Square Garden.  The New York Liberty played the Connecticut Sun.  They gave us noisemakers to cheer for the Liberty.  They won in overtime.  This was the fifth grade senior trip and we had lots of fun!

 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!

From fifth  grade reporter Isaac:

When we arrived at Turtle Bay Music School there were already a bunch of people there!  I sat in the front row with my friend Chance.  The stage had a piano, drums, a flute and a huge bass.  There was a woman playing the flute, a man at the piano, a man at the drums, and a man at the huge bass.  They played jazz, blues, and Latino music.  At the end, they let everyone play the instruments!

Third grade students from Alain L. Locke Elementary attended a field trip to the Museum of the City of New York.  Participating in “The Grid” program, students were able to explore the impact of urban planning in their own communities.  Topics addressed by museum educators included the importance of institutions such as parks, libraries, and small businesses.

 On a Saturday this past January students from Alain L. Locke went to Central Park’s ice skating rink for an urban adventure.  They got to meet many young adults while they skated.  This was an opportunity for people to get along and learn to skate from each other.  Also, this was time to spend with classmates students do not usually see outside of Alain L. Locke.
