On Tuesday, our Middle School students took the stage as our Spring Celebration performances continued! They sang along to Fleetwood Mac, drummed rhythms in “I’m Coming Out” and showcased their musical skills while playing the violin, keyboards, electric guitar, the bass and the flute. We are grateful to have such a dynamic music teacher guiding our young musicians. 🎤🎻🎶

Our Friday Reading Night sleepover was full of books and surprises. After a group dinner, students spent the night working together to complete a scavenger hunt and even built “2 minute sculptures” in the gym before going to sleep with a bedtime story. They woke up early (of course) to build block structures on the roof before joining their families for a special group breakfast. 📚🧩 And a huge shout out goes out to all our teachers and interns who made sure our kiddos had an adventure filled (yet restful) night! 👏

🏳️‍🌈 As part of our ongoing mission to foster an inclusive community for all of our families, we celebrate Pride Month each year. Throughout June, students will have the opportunity to take part in different activities that will incorporate and honor the history of the LGBTQ+ community. This year, we’re proud to share that one of our beloved 8th graders is part of an important new film. Mila is featured in the documentary “Heightened Scrutiny” which recently premiered in NYC and at the Sundance Film Festival. It follows the ongoing legal battle in the Supreme Court to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. As a trans youth herself, Mila shared her perspective on a panel at the NYC premiere of the film: “I wanted to put my voice out to say that I have a voice and I can use it and I will use it so do that. Be heard.” We are committed to creating safe spaces for our students, families and staff, and we are so proud of Mila for her willingness to advocate for equity for all! The icing on the cake is that many members of our community were there to support as well. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💟💙🤎🖤 . . #welcomingschools

Earlier this week our Lower School students had a chance to show off their hard work during our Spring Celebration.

Meet Ms. Dariana, our Spanish Immersion preschool teacher! Where did you grow up? I spent five years living and growing up in Guatemala, and I spent the rest of my childhood right here in Brooklyn, in Sunset Park (both GREAT experiences!). What are 3 words that describe you? Caring, Adventurous and Supportive What inspired you to become an early childhood teacher? I’d say that I’m inspired by my experience back in elementary school. I had the most AMAZING teachers. Because they left such an impact on my life, I knew that one day I wanted to grow up to be just like them to share that love and nurturing feeling I received from them. Can you share a bit about your teaching philosophy and approach to early childhood education? I believe that each child grows and learns at their own pace, and my teaching philosophy is rooted in fostering a supportive, inclusive, and nurturing environment where all children can thrive and feel at home. I strive to celebrate their individuality while promoting their growth in all developmental areas. My goal is to guide children with patience and care, ensuring that they feel valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential. What are some of your favorite activities or lessons to do with the children? Ahhh…process art is one of my favorites! It allows for one to see the uniqueness and creativity of each child. Another favorite approach is to explore sensory activities with children. Being able to connect learning with nature and our environment is very fun. What do you enjoy most about working with young students? I enjoy the meaningful bonds created with my students and witnessing their growth along the learning journey. I love that connections can become even more beautiful over time. 🥰
