Trip Ideas

If you have any ideas where we could go on a trip as a club please come to any of the cabinet members and give us ideas. We can go ice skating , to a broadway play, etc. This is the way for us to have fun, we don't always have to be stuck in a classroom. Last year, one of our trips was to the broadway play RENT.

HIKING TRIP....

On Saturday, October 28th, 5 members and Mr. Thoman went for a hike up Breakneck Ridge. At 9:00 in the morning, Latoya Graham, Lana Kempton, Arthur Cortes, Jose Arias, and Simeon Katsmetzki, joined Mr. Thoman for the train trip upstate to the mountains. The climb up to the top of the ridge was tough , but when they all made it to the top, they were rewarded with views of the Catskills and the Manhattan Skyline. Everyone enjoyed the hiking so much, they chose to do an extra mountain. Everyone was exausted by the end of the hike, barely making it to the pizza shop in the village. Pizza was enjoyed by all, and all were truly pleased on finishing the 7 mile hike in good form.

OMER IN VERMONT

 Hi, my name is Omer Ilyas(Vice-President of Environmental Club) and I recently went on a 3 day trip to Vermont. I represented the youth of NYC in the rural environment of Vermont and was able to talk to forestors and loggers from Kentucky, Neveda, Oregon, California, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Exchanging ideas of urban gardening with their experiences in the vast forests of the country was really exciting. It was the most stimulating trips of my life. I seriously recommend that urban kids take advantage of these oppertunities and visit rural areas.
