For years, annual field trips to White Plains Public Library were a rite of passage for sixth-graders at Eastview Middle School, until COVID paused the tradition. Last month, the library and Eastview staff were excited to introduce students to the Edge, the library’s dedicated teen space.

Over the course of a few days, 110 students participated in various activities, including a tour of the Edge, jewelry making, STEM activities, a Bingo game, and a scavenger hunt - a fantastic opportunity for the kids to learn about the incredible resources at the library. The Friends is proud to support enrichment programs and partner with the White Plains Library.

📚Ridgway’s entire 4th grade had a unique learning opportunity: attending a live performance of Dav Pilkey’s “Cat Kid Comic Club,” followed by receiving individual copies of the book. The students engaged in partner and independent reading, had lively discussions with their peers, and eagerly shared their comparisons of the performance versus the text with their teachers.

What an experience! Rochambeau students visited the UN Headquarters in Manhattan, where Mrs. Gonsalves’s project-based learning units on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals came to life right before their eyes.
Seeing students recognize the real-world impact of what they learn in the classroom every day is the heart of a meaningful education.

The Friends is proud to make enrichment experiences like this possible!
