Our school is a multi-cultural community. We teach students from several different countries and cultures - 94% of our students are learning English as a second language. Aside from the academic challenges, our students are faced with cultural barriers also. Anything we can do to bridge that cultural divide only enhances the learning process. Our students are motivated to learn, as their parents have brought them to this country to have a better life. Many of our families have very limited resources, but whenever there is a fund raiser for charity or a cause to support, our students and their families always give. Our theme for this school year has been "Bucket Filling" or standing up to do the right thing and help your neighbor. After the Flag Salute each morning, we repeat the "Bucket Fillers Pledge". Our school community was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, many students and teachers lost everything, but we still try to find a way to help others in need - "filling buckets"!
