Westcott Street Cultural Fair 2010

For many years we have enjoyed being part of the Westcott Street Cultural Fair. Our participation increases our visibility in the University neighborhood, and helps us build community. At Kid's Corner, located in the Petit Library parking lot, The New School offers inexpensive and healthy snacks, free face painting and chess and checkers. Current students and alumni are an important part of this event.  They are wonderful spokespersons for the school and they bring the vibrancy of the school into the community.  

For the past two years we have also enjoyed being part of the parade. This year we walked as "endangered animals." Children created "hats" to represent their endangered animal. At school children sketched their animal and located its habitat on a world map. Do check out the display in the front hallway. In the near future children will create multi-media representations which will be displayed at Barnes and Noble and at The Galleries library downtown.
