Project Learning Garden Grant

Magnet students were fortunate enough to receive this grant sponsored by Dole and the Captain Planet Foundation. Teams of students worked on assembling garden beds, dispersing soil, and planting herbs and flowers for our new school garden! We are excited to see how the students further develop and sustain their new found learning space.

Each month a student from each class is selected as the Leader of the Month based on one of the 7 Habits: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things Fist, Think Win Win, Seek First to Understand Then to Be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw. Students are celebrated each month with a schoolwide assembly to recognize their leadership skills.

GREENLIGHT FOR GIRLS

G4G is an international organization dedicated to inspiring girls of all ages and backgrounds to pursue STEM subjects by introducing them to the world of science, technology, engineering, and math in fun and exciting ways.

Our signature one‐day girl‐focused event demonstrates the fun in science through hands‐on workshops and activities run by volunteer role models in STEM fields. These are events open to the local community and brings 200+ attendees with up to 100 volunteers/workshop leaders per event. We organize these events in 5 continents across the globe.

FUNDRAISERS

As a way to teach students that we are all contributing global citizens, PS/MS 200 students often host school-wide events to raise money for those less fortunate. Big thanks to Ms. Shmuel, Mrs. Pesale, & Mrs. Frawley who often assists students in organizing fundraisers for various causes.
