Week 1: Nature Adventures -  ages 7 - 9

Discover the wild areas along  the shores of the
Hudson River!  During Nature Adventures, children will walk the historic trails of the Palisades Park directly across the river, as well as visit Yonkers own floating farm, the Science Barge.  The week also includes a visit from two-legged, four-legged, no legged, furry, feathered, bristled, and scaly residents from Greenburgh Nature Center.

In addition, campers will enjoy Catch of the Day Seining, a train trip to the Kathryn W. Davis Riverwalk Center in Sleepy Hollow, nature-based arts and crafts, free time for games and personal projects and creative play.

Children’s curiosity about the different plants and animals they see and touch during the week provides an exciting introduction to the world of science.  Nature Adventures encourages observation and investigation.

The letter does not seem to mention if they have personal experience as an educator or as a parentRead More with kids now, kids past years or kids future years in the Irvington School District. Sometimes the perspective is different if you have lived the experience with kids in the Irvington School District. I have three kids -- one graduate last year and is at Cornell University, one is grade nine and one is grade three. All three got great teachers, small class size and extra help or enrichment as needed. I think the arts programs can be expanded -- music, drama, fine arts (both in classes and electives plus stipends to pay teachers for clubs and after school activities). However, this is a school district that values having small class size and keeping strong all the academics core subjects required for graduation and college plus making a priority sports opportunities middle school through high schools at all levels and types of sports. If you are high achiever it works grades k-12; if you are a child with special education needs or learning issues needs or extra help needs it works too. The average student is the one who is often forgotten in Irvington School District since they just do their thing in school, after school activities and move from grade to grade uneventful but nothing that will be memorable at least in my experience.

The problem has always been skyrocketing costs- bamacare does absolutely nothing to address costs.Read More It is a complete scam that will only add to the uninsured because it makes employers accelerate dropping employer sponsored healthcare- dumping even more people into the arms of the government disaster.

When employers are offering less and less health insurance, more people are self insured orRead More uninsured and are restricted to buying policies as individuals. With the cost at over $ 1,500 per month for standard, full coverage for a family of 4, it is no wonder there are so many uninsured or partially insured ( emergency/hospital care only).
