Students in Ms. B’s STEM program at 396K had a Farm To School event this week. On Monday, they worked with Chef George to prep a delicious herb vinaigrette for the salad tasting with ingredients from their hydroponic towers, and on Tuesday they washed and prepped apples and set up the tasting cart. The student chefs made a visit to every class in the school where students and staff could choose from healthy fries, fresh salad, and two kinds of apples. Delicious!
Check out these cool 3D printed rockwool hooks in action. No net pots needed and easy access for lifting your plants to check on the roots!
Fidgets help many of our students and staff stay focused and calm throughout the day. Have you ever tried using organic fidgets from nature?
Plants made a strong showing at the 10th annual District 75 STEM Fair on March 18 at the American Museum of Natural History. These were two of our favorites from 811Q and 140K.

Teachers that attended the Hydroponics – Get Growing! PD on Feb 5 at 754X not only explored and learned about 5 different kinds of hydroponic and aquaponic growing systems in Mr. Masefield’s lab, but they also got to meet the chickens, make a mushroom starting kit, and complete a friendly but competitive tower garden building challenge!
The 77K community came together for a viewing and celebration of Josiah’s award winning film, “Tomorrow Starts Now.” There were speeches from Principal Russell, our Superintendendent, Dr. Keisha McCoy, Ms. Katherine and Mr. Tyler, Josiah’s mom, and many invited guests! Check out this week’s episode of the Roaring Rundown to see students’ interviews with representatives from the Mayor’s Office, Brooklyn and Bronx Borough Presidents Office, Green Bronx Machine, and many others that came to celebrate. Best of all, everyone that came got to taste a home grown salad with Josiah’s famous basil dressing!
Ms. B shared this photo of the school’s very first bell pepper emerging from it’s flower at the 396K STEM lab. So cool!
Can you identify what kind of tree this is without its leaves?
