6th Grade - Call to Action Videos
7th and 8th Grade - Quilting
In 7th and 8th grade ELA with Mr. Whitaker and Ms. Cortez, students are partnering with resident El Puente artist Sylvia Hernandez and Efrén working with quilting and sewing materials to design tapestries of their faces that reflect their relationship with their identity.
Last week was Civics Week for the NYC Department of Education and at MS 50 we held a letter writing campaign where our students wrote about what types of spaces and rooms they would like to see at MS 50. Today a group of our students travelled to Councilperson Gutiérrez's office to deliver these letters to her office so they can be used to advocate for additional space for our students.
Join us as we honor the contributions of women that have changed our world and celebrate Women's History Month ! We're calling all women to join our panel to speak on their experiences
within their field of work! Breakfast and Coffee Included! Click here to RSVP!
