Curriculum Night
Before families left, they wrote notes to their children's classes, telling them what they enjoyed about their classroom and work. Everyone left feeling excited about the year ahead and proud of the important work that BxC students are doing each day.
Opening Parade!
Our parade was a festive celebration of all of the learning that is getting underway at BxC!
First Day of School!
Children reveled in their vibrant classrooms and began to explore the school and the many learning materials available to them. Songs were sung, names were learned, explorations were launched, and students left excitedly anticipating another day at BxC.
NYC Mayor and Chancellor Hold Press Conference at BxC
The Mayor and Chancellor chose BxC to host because of the deep community connections of the school and its staff and because of its innovative facility partnership with Fordham Bedford Housing Corporation, the community-based organization that leases space to BxC.
Co-Directors Martha Andrews and Sasha Wilson spoke about the family forums that helped shape the vision of the school, Mayor Bloomberg spoke about the importance of charter choices, and Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion highlighted the important work that Fordham Bedford has done in the community. Well over 100 people attended, along with all of the major media outlets, and BxC was mentioned all over the news that day.
Family Picnic!
Family Cleaning Day
On June 21st, BxC families and staff came together to get the school sparkling clean before the kids arrive. Windows were shined, shelves were scrubbed, furniture was moved, and floors were swept. Thanks to the help of the volunteers, the school looks shinier than ever.
The next family volunteer days are August 14th and August 21st.
