The Pool is Cool!!!

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:04:51 +0000

This is clearly the place to have been over the past few days. Our campers enjoy the water with counselors and lifeguards and do a little “clowning around”. It is the mission of the camp to utilize fully our facilities, including the field, the gym and the pool. For our children, pool time makes them not only happy but cool; they also learn about swimming and water safety. From the looks of these pictures, our campers are happy, wet and safe!

On Thursday, April 22, Garden School’s 8th grade and several students from the English Language Academy got a “sneak peak” at Tigers: Tracking a Legend, a new interactive exhibition that opens at the South Street Seaport on April 24. The students were the only school group invited to the Earth Day celebration and media launch.

Students were interviewed and photographed by members of the press including The NY Daily News and NYCityMama.com, a popular parents’ website. The Daily News story is expected to run soon, but an article and photos are available at www.NYCityMama.com.

Everyone is still talking about their time with the tigers. More information about the exhibition can be found at www.tigersnyc.com.
