Today is the last day of ISS Summer Camp! ☀️

On Wednesday, 08.12.26, our students were able to showcase their artwork to peers and families in the neighborhood. If you scroll through this carousel, you can see that no matter the medium, they are able to bring light & color that reflect their thoughts and personality. Scroll through until the end to see what a kid thinks about this summer—you may just see a familiar name. 😉

Hope they (and the staff) get some rest and playtime before the school year begins! Til next year~ 💓

Are we looking at another heat wave in NYC? 🔥 Thankfully, NYU Langone Health taught our Chung Pak seniors how to stay cool during the extreme heat. And guess what? We held this workshop two weeks ago during the hottest day of the summer (so far)! 🥵 Now, we’re ready to cool off using all the tips acquired from this workshop. 🧊🩵
