Adelle's Announcements
May 2022 - John Dewey High School
A Message from Your Principal
Dear Dewey Family,
May is here, and with it, a collection of events to which we can look forward. This Tuesday, May 3rd, is College Decision Day: Don’t forget to adorn yourselves with your college colors and gear as we will be celebrating our students outside the College Office! On Friday, May 6th will be our International Food Festival. I’m looking forward to joining in the celebration and tastes reflecting the diversity of our many students’ cultures.
This week we hosted our littlest family members into our building for Bring Your Child to Work Day! As I mentioned in my email, it was truly heartwarming to witness the positive impact that our own children had on our students' mood. I enjoyed seeing your children smiling and playing as they made their slime, enjoyed cookies and just being with you in your work environment. Each conversation I had with them made my heart smile!
On Friday, we celebrated National Poetry Month with Poem in Your Pocket Day! Many students took on the Poem Challenge and participated in reading, writing, and sharing their poetry throughout the building with as many people as they could. To join in on the fun, here is a poem I’d like to share with you all:
May Is Pretty, May Is Mild
by Annette Wynne
May is pretty, May is mild,
Dances like a happy child;
Sing out, robin; spring out, flowers;
April went with all her showers,
And the world is green again;
Come out, children, to the glen,
To the meadows, to the wood,
For the earth is clean and good,
And the sky is clear and blue,
And bright May is calling you!
May is pretty, May is mild,
Dances like a happy child,
On a blessèd holiday,
Come out, children, join the play!
Yours truly,
Heather Adelle, Principal
It's Minecraft Season! Launching Challenge 2022 NYC
The 2022 NYC Minecraft Education challenge is here! Join this webinar to learn more about how your students can participate in this year’s challenge. Student submissions will have the opportunity to be highlighted at the Stockholm+50 event on June 1st, where mayors from around the world will be celebrating 50 years of global environmental action. You can learn more about the challenge at www.schools.nyc.gov/minecraft.
About the Challenge: Net Zero: New York City provides an opportunity for the students of NYCDOE to design solutions to create a more sustainable city. The challenge’s goal is to educate everyone on how we can combat the climate crisis and engage youth in designing and building solutions for climate resilience and action. In this challenge, students are tasked with creating new and innovative solutions that will lower the carbon footprint for the city of New York City. Students will explore the city in Minecraft Education, meeting the Mayor and a community of experts who will share important information to aid students on their journey. When your research is complete, you will craft your solution.
Challenge launches: April 11th | Challenge submissions due: May 27th
This session will be recorded and posted at www.schools.nyc.gov/minecraft if you cannot attend live. Feel free to forward to anyone who may be interested!
