Health & Wellness Meeting will be on May 16
Due to 2nd grade Publishing Parties, the next Health & Wellness Meeting will be on May 16. We will gather at 8:30 in the Mt Sinai Cafeteria (on Madison Ave, between 101 and 102 Street). We will discuss Spring Fair feedback, Partnership for a Health Generation Award and Sports Days. We hope to see you there.
Every year our 2nd graders learn about the birds of NYC in our "For the Birds" project in collaboration with the Audubon Society. Every child that passes through the 2nd grade at CPE II has become a bird expert through this project.
This year's 2nd grade Audubon "For the Birds" project is now listed on donorschoose under Cristel Waterman's account. (But it's for the entire 2nd grade.)
Please support our 2nd graders by posting this project on your social media accounts so we can fundraise for this amazing project.
