We hosted a fantastic Back to School event in collaboration with Brooklyn North Command and the Keeping it Real- Da Fam Auto Club. Our staff and families showed up and showed out with dancing, a BBQ, a raffle, games area, hair braiding and barbering, free phones, adult service programs, backpack and personal item giveaways, video games (a truck!), henna and temporary tattoos. It was a great way to reach out and welcome families, and a great way to spend a gorgeous Sunday!

Please join Team Heather as we walk in memory of Ms. Lifland and to raise funds for the NYCM Epilepsy Foundation.

Our students at Medgar received several awards for their participation in a summer entrepreneurship program.

Meet Zulu P- a group of friends from a Manhattan program for adults with disabilities who formed their own rap group. Proof once again that our students are only limited by what WE think they can't do.

A huge thank you to Nicole Hamilton, Andrew Chung, Kat Marocik, Shakiera Daniel, Kelly WIlliams, Maria Ladeheim and Leslie Quinonez for organizing our Meet the Faculty Night, and for helping to shepherd parents into the right meeting rooms!

Another huge shout out to our staff team that made Sunday happen!

I picked Trick Daddy and Let's Go for a few reasons. First, he samples Ozzy Osborne's Crazy Train, which I think encapsulates the first two weeks perfectly- busing, class changes, schedule expectations, etc. Second, we're recovering, focused and working. It's game on. Let's go!
