We loved welcoming our parents into our classes today! Our Senior Textile Science class showcased their knowledge of the garment lifecycle through a Fast Fashion board game.
It was amazing to see students and parents learning about the hidden costs of their closets while having fun!

Last night, our amazing Math, Science, and Guidance staff headed to 30 Rock for a special "Teachers Only" taping of @fallontonight! 🗽
The highlight? An interview with Ryan Gosling about his new film #ProjectHail Mary—where he plays a middle-school science teacher saving the world!
The surprises didn't stop there. Jimmy Fallon treated the entire audience to an exclusive, free preview screening of the movie right after the show.
A huge thank you to The Tonight Show for such a fun night of recognition for our hard-working educators!

In Ms. Goldstein’s and Mr. Ng’s Financial Math class, students began the lesson by reading an article focused on financial literacy. They then participated in a gallery walk of posters from past classes to build background knowledge, spark ideas, and become familiar with key concepts and vocabulary. After an introductory lesson on financial literacy, students were challenged to reflect on what financial literacy means to them.
Working in groups of four to five, students collaborated to design original posters that combined academic content with creativity. They used their art skills to represent ideas such as budgeting, saving, investing, and planning for the future, while actively using new financial vocabulary in meaningful ways. Throughout the process, students engaged in discussion, shared responsibilities, and supported one another’s thinking.
This hands-on, collaborative activity helped make financial literacy relevant and engaging for seniors. By blending creativity with real-world content, students strengthened their understanding of essential life skills that will help prepare them for independence and success beyond high school.
