"I Am Special"

In our PreKindergarten class, we are learning about how we are different and how we are the same. We traced the children's body and they are painting themselves. They have experimented with mixing colors and finding various leaves that are of their skin shade. ~Ms. Aslam

Preparing for Bake Sale in Support of Center for Food Action

Today, eighth grade students worked with Mrs. Gove to prepare food for tomorrow's Bake Sale in support of the Center for Food Action. The money raised will go towards the purchase of turkeys. Thus far, the Center for Food Action is 3,000 turkeys behind their annual need.

Bins in the three divisions are filling up with donations. Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Center for food Action thus far. The drive ends this Friday, so please continue to bring in donations for those who have less than we do. For more information on what supplies are needed, please click here.

A Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience

A few weeks ago, Jessica Sklar and Brittany Sklar had a once-in-a-lifetime experience when they performed for the President of the United States, Barack Obama. They performed at a fundraiser in Cresskill, New Jersey, held on October 6. Performing an original "Americana" medley (arranged by Ms. Brittany Sklar), the piece incorporated melodies from "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "Yankee Doodle." The Elisabeth Morrow School asked them if they would reenact their performance for both the Little School (grades 1 to 4) and Morrow House (grades 5 to 8) assemblies.

After playing, Ms. Jessica Sklar and Ms. Brittany Sklar spoke a little about meeting the President and answered students' questions. Ms. Jessica Sklar said that President Obama congratulated them on their beautiful playing and that pictures were taken by the official White House photographer. They said the whole evening was unbelievable, like a dream, and noted how much security and Secret Service were present, both inside and outside the home where the event took place. All the students and teachers at our assemblies listened intently to the beautiful music and the description of how it felt to meet the President.

Congratulations to Ms. Jessica Sklar and Ms. Brittany Sklar on their patriotic and "Presidential" performance!!
