In appreciation of the teachers and paraprofessionals who have been working hard this past year (during the pandemic)

In appreciation of the teachers and paraprofessionals who have been working hard this past year (during the pandemic), PS 676 held a Teacher Appreciation Week from May 3-7.

There were numerous activities throughout the week so the students and community could give thanks to the teachers and paraprofessionals. Many of them involved food and creativity by the kids at the school.

This year Principal Figueroa wanted to have a Teacher Appreciation Week at the school but in previous years they have had a day to recognize the teachers at PS 676.

On May 4, there were teacher and paraprofessional shout-outs on the school public address system. On May 5, there was a candy bag giveaway for the teachers near the entrance to the building. One sign said “Teachers and paras… we’re sweet on you! Please take a candy bag!”

On May 6, there was a bagel breakfast with juice and pastries for the teachers that was donated by Edwin and Melinda Pacheco from Redemption Church. Edwin is the lead pastor at the church.

On May 7, the students used their creativity to show their appreciation for their teachers by decorating t-shirts and making rigatoni necklaces and paper crowns.

The PS 676 students had the opportunity to design the t-shirts with messages or make the necklaces while they were having lunch. The kids got to make and decorate the paper crowns for the teachers when they were in the YMCA after school program that begins in the building after the school day ends.

Exhibition Review: Anders Knutsson’s  The Ultimate Radical Painting

In his latest exhibition at The Wall Gallery, The Ultimate Radical Painting, Brooklyn-based artist Anders Knutsson invites viewers into a fascinating but unknown art-territory where the painting serves as a bridge between the rational mind and the spiritual.

Review of “Livonia Chow Mein,” by Abigail Savitch-Lew Is it true what people say—you can’t go home again?

Grella on Jazz: Following Miles

Miles Davis is more than a musician, he’s an icon. The aspects of that shifted through the years and eras of his life, and that continues in his afterlife—his centennial is May 26. The fashion figure has vanished from popular culture since the end of The Gap’s mid-1990s campaign showing Miles (and Jack Kerouac, Steve McQueen, and others) wearing khakis.
