Thanks 06.18.07

Harbor Arts Night: Thank you to Lauren and Sonia to all their students for their great showing on Harbor Arts Night on Governors Island. About 250 people attended the event, including parents, students, and friends and supporters of the Harbor School. The premiere of "The House of O" received great reviews. Odysseus somehow made it back home. The Harbor Arts class photos and paintings were beautiful in the Admiral's House. Congratulations to all the students.

Bushwick Campus Parade: The Academy of Urban Planning, New York Harbor School and Bushwick School for Social Justice combined on Saturday for a lively and positive parade through the community to celebrate the improved graduation rates in the building and demonstrate that "Bushwick is Back." NY Harbor School was represented by several seniors, as well as the cheerleading squad. It was a great day with news coverage by NY1 as well as El Diario. Thank you to Parent Coordinator Daniela Perez for helping to organize the parade.

Clearwater Festival: Ten Harbor School students (Janette Medel, Juana Garcia, Jimmy Sanchez, Alfonso Ventura, Angelina Soto, Heidy Virgil, Jose Melendez, Maritza Garcia, Raphael Laurenceau and Leydi Basilio)and several staff (Roy, Tizoc, Shane, Pia and Ann) represented NY Harbor School at the Clearwater Festival on the Hudson. Students assisted in water safety and ferrying passengers in the water on small boats. Thanks to Roy for coordinating the Harbor representatives.
