Happy Earth Day! We’re thrilled to celebrate this special day by highlighting the incredible efforts of our @afujimahigh students who took part in a Shore Clean Up Day this past weekend. Partnering with the Jamaica Bay Rockaway Parks Conservancy, our students spent time cleaning our beautiful shores and admiring the marine life. Their enthusiasm and dedication reminds us all of the importance of environmental stewardship, and the positive impact we can all have on our planet.

Our schools are on Spring Break this week, and we’re sending love to all our amazing scholars and families! Whether you’re spending time with friends, dancing it out, making art, or just enjoying some rest, we hope you’re finding moments of joy. We can’t wait to welcome you back next week, recharged and ready to finish the school year strong!
