PS 108 students examine the facade of the Museum of the City of New York
Yesterday marked the last day of New York City Public School and the end of another fantastic school year for our youth education programs. FRIENDS would like to thank all of our participating schools, teachers, and parents as we wrap up another great school year. Most of all, thanks to our wonderful 1st through 5th grade students for their enthusiasm, creativity, and curiosity. Make use of your detective eyes during your summer travels in and out of the city by searching for lintels, pediments, cornices, gargoyles and more. FRIENDS’ architectural education programs reached 800 students this year at fourteen different schools, five of which were new to the program! In September, we kicked off the school year with brand new activity books as well as updated lesson plans and photographs. Throughout the school year, whether participating in Building Fun, our introduction to architecture program, or our new program, Yorkville Immigration, we worked with students who were eager to learn more about their city’s architecture and history.
