Biodiesel Club: Sam and his students were featured in a short but very descriptive article. Click here to read all about it in the NY Post!
Washington DC Trip: Thank you to Sam for organizing 14 Seniors on their trip to Washington, D.C. for a Climate Change Conference for a day of meaningful conversation and activism. Students visited Senators Schumer and Clinton's offices, and also spent an hour with Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who was very inspirational and extremely generous with her time. It was a great experience for seniors in the government class.
Community Garden Conference: Thank you to Roy for bringing several Harbor Corps members to an all day Community Garden Conference in the Bronx on Saturday.
School Quality Review: Thank you to the entire staff and students for work and focus during the School Quality Review this past week. Particular thanks to Des and Dorothy for their work to take care of several situations that occurred this past week. Also thanks to Jen and all the teachers who met with our reviewer, Mr. Peter Lewis. We obviously have many things to work on, but it was good to know that we are a "proficient" school.
Open School Event: Thank you to all staff who worked Open School Night. It was a relatively low turn out and there are many factors that went into that, but many staff reported that the conversations that did take place seemed very profitable. Still, it is clear that we must continue to work on our outreach for these important opportunities to communicate with parents.

MAP Trip to Cape Cod: It has been a tradition for the Harbor School to invite students, either as part of the Maritime Adventure Program (MAP), or Harbor Corps on a 4-5 day trip to a retired lifeboat station on the eastern shore of Cape Cod. We have 4 days reserved for April 1-4. The trips usually involve night hikes, rowing, museum and Coast Guard air base station visits, bonfires on the beach, haunted tours of lighthouses, and many numerous team building activities. Tizoc is looking for volunteers that may be interested in chaperoning and helping plan this trip. If anyone is interested, please contact him asap!

Student Council at Frost Valley: Congratulations to the 24 of 27 Student Council representatives who made the trek this weekend to Frost Valley, NY for their Winter Leadership Retreat. Jen and Murray led the trip and should be congratulated as well. It was a great turnout and the students did lots of team building and leadership training, as well as the snowy camp activities (skiing, tubing) that Frost Valley is known for.
Coxswain Training: Thank you to Brendan, Shane and Cheryl for attending a two-day coxswain training over the weekend with the East River Crew up at East 96th Street. We were fortunate enough to have Brendan give some great presentations. Now Shane and Ann (along with Brendan, of course) have been signed off to be lead coxswains and take students out in the 25ft whitehall gigs. One of the gigs up at East 96th Street, Non-Pareil, actually belongs to NYHS and is on loan to East River Crew until we get our own space to store it.
Basketball: The Bushwick Campus girls varsity team lost 57-43 in its 2nd round playoff game on Thursday and are out of the playoffs. They finished the season with only 1 loss in the B division. 9th Grader Racquel Davis was the star of the team this year, and should be congratulated on a great season. The Boys' varsity team (including Daquan Swint, Andrew Pepin, & Todd Lane) won its playoff game on Friday 53-49. The team continues on, with hopes for a city championship. Note: In April NY Harbor School boys will participate in an Urban Assembly basketball tournament. Noah, Ralph, and Marvin are helping to organize the team.
Island School: Congratulations to Tanasia Swift and Raymond Garcia for thier departure to the Island School this week. We send these two students all our best wishes! Thank you to Sara for taking on the responsibility of coordinating our semester programs and escorting the students to the Island School this week.
Coxswain Training: Thank you to Brendan, Shane and Cheryl for attending a two-day coxswain training over the weekend with the East River Crew up at East 96th Street.
