Updates 03.26.07

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!

Pilar Rioja Performance: On April 16th Lydia will be taking certain 11th and 12th graders to see Pilar Rioja (a famous flamengo dancer) after 2nd period. See Lydia’s email for a list of students.

Radio Golf Performance: As part of Harbor Humanities, the 10th grade will be going to see August Wilson’s Radio Golf. Unfortunately, as we work with the Theater Development Fund to get free tickets and teaching artists, we do not get to choose the date. So, we will take the entire 10th grade to see the show on Wednesday, May 16th. The show begins @ 2 p.m. We will leave as soon as students finish their lunches around 12.

Free Vision Screening for Students: ATTENTION 10th GRADE TEACHERS & ADVISORS! In the upcoming weeks Kerron Desir, the Bushwick Campus health aide, has arranged for free vision screening for all 10th graders, starting Wednesday, March 28. Students will be given passes (through their advisors) to go to his office for their screening. Those who need glasses will be assisted in procuring them at a free or reduced cost through several organizations he works with. Corrected vision can have a dramatic impact on student achievement. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
