NYC Ferry Trip

What a beautiful day for an adventure! Our elementary and middle school students enjoyed a summer field trip aboard the NYC Ferry, traveling from Soundview to City Hall and taking in the sights along the way.

After arriving, students enjoyed lunch in the park, cooled off by the waterfront as the waves splashed over their feet, and soaked up a perfect summer day outdoors. Our middle school students also put their observation skills to the test with a fun scavenger hunt, making the trip both exciting and educational.

From the ferry ride to exploring the city together, it was a day full of smiles, discovery, and lasting summer memories! 🚢🌊☀️

Building, creating, and learning—one brick at a time! 🧱✨

Our Summer School students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work with a fun LEGO building challenge. More than just play, LEGO activities help strengthen fine motor skills, encourage teamwork and communication, promote critical thinking, and inspire creativity as students turn their ideas into reality.
