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.

gone through alot the last month. Two weeks ago

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.
