On Thursday, April 23rd, we celebrated Earth Week 2009  with an on-site visit from the Harlem River Ecology Center, , hosted by the center’s founder, Luger Balan.  Our students experienced two of the center’s exciting environmental education programs. In the auditorium, “Urban Wings Over Water”, where students and teachers will be introduced to various birds of our urban wetlands and watershed, including birds of prey.
