Field Trip to Little Colombia on April 29
A dozen Spanish Cinema Conversation students will visit Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, on April 29 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Jackson Heights, also known as “Little Colombia” for its large Colombian immigrant population, is the setting of two movies of the Cinema class. Students will learn first-hand about “Little Colombia” by interviewing community leaders, one of which is Orlando Tobon, known as “The Mayor of Little Colombia” who served as co-producer of the award-winning movie “Maria Full of Grace.” Nat Simpson will be overseeing the trip.
Trimester 3 Math Resource Center tutoring schedule
Trimester 3 is now in full swing. Starting tomorrow, the Math Resource Center will be up and running! The schedule is attached. Remember – the schedule stays the same all trimester so once you figure out when you can get help and with whom, you can go to that same tutoring session every week if needed!
FYI, for those of you who need help with AP Stats or Probability and Statistics, Nan Ding, James Kim and Ty Lee are great resources!
I hope you are all off to a good start this trimester and that you will make a commitment to getting the help you need by taking full advantage of the resources such as this one and the Writing Center. Your peers are ready to assist!
On behalf of the math tutors and the math department,
Ms. Anderson
