#SummerReading #ThrowbackThursday #BookLovers #ChooseJoy

School may be out for the summer, but we love a #ThrowbackThursday! Check out these photos from @elmcityelementary’s art show last month. Our AF families celebrated the creativity and dedication our scholars put into their artistic pieces. At AF, we believe it is essential for students to have time to develop their passions and express their imagination through the arts. Special thank you to Ms. Fung and the Elm City ES staff for making this wonderful show possible!

Today and every day, we celebrate the spirit of freedom and the limitless possibilities that education brings. We reflect on our commitment to making education accessible to all students and celebrate the diverse and united community at Achievement First. Together, we build a brighter future for our scholars. Have a safe and joyful summer!

In honor of #CaribbeanAmericanHeritageMonth, AF would like to shine a light on our amazing steel pan team at @afbrooklynhigh, @pulse.steelband. As the first high school steel pan band in New York City, this talented group has brought the sound and spirit of the Caribbean right to Brooklyn! Check out our post to learn a bit about the history of steel pan and watch some of Pulse’s performances, including their most recent performance at a @nyliberty basketball game!
