Langston's Letters

March 13 - March 17

A Note from the Principal

Dear Langston Hughes Family,


I hope your children have shared with you the fun they had on Friday's trips. The fourth and fifth graders visited the One World Observatory at One World Trade Center. Ms. McCrea was excited to share how well our students represented their school community. She said they made excellent observations.


Our kindergarteners and first graders went bowling at Bowl 360. There were smiles and excited chatter everywhere when they returned to the school. We are so happy to be able to take trips again!


Have a wonderful week!
