In the Heights Trip to Washington Heights

Leave a comment

The 26-member cast of In the Heights will head to New York City on Wednesday, January 20—leaving at 7:00 a.m. and returning by 9:30 p.m.—to attend a lecture and workshop at CUNY’s Dominican Studies Institute, and eat lunch in the city.  Afterwards, students will attend a performance of the Broadway musical Fun Home, tour Washington Heights, and have dinner at El Malecon, a legendary Dominican restaurant in the neighborhood.

This is an optional event for the student cast members of In the Heights.  (Members of athletic teams, especially varsity, may decide to participate in an athletic contest instead of going on the trip.) For more information, contact faculty chaperones Emily Ditkovski, Debra Vega , or Josh Harper.

Math Resource Center Schedule

Leave a comment

Welcome back everyone!

              I hope you had a terrific first day of classes!  I know I did.  We had so much fun playing with Geometer Sketchpad today – lots of investigating and conjecturing!  There is, of course, vocabulary to learn and homework to be done, so I wanted to take a moment to remind you of the fabulous resource you have here at Williston – the Math Resource Center Tutors!  They are just waiting for you to arrive with your questions so that they can help you and learn even more about all of the intricacies of the math you are doing!  Remember that you can simply show up – no appointment necessary.  The daytime tutoring sessions are in Schoolhouse room #28 and the evening sessions are in Reed room 102.

              I hope the rest of the week is just as much fun as today was!

              Ms. Anderson
