PS+69+Visits+Gracie+Mansion

//**December 5, 2014 **// //The first, second, and third grade students of P.S. 69 Journey Prep, were invited to Gracie Mansion. This incredible experience provided students and staff with the opportunity to meet First Lady Chirlane McCray. To add, the students assisted her with the decorating of her and Mayor Bill De Blasio's holiday tree! To prepare for this event (that the children referred to as "the best day ever!") the students created ornaments with assistance from the art teacher, Mrs. DeGiacomo. The recycled materials used to design these beautiful and unique ornaments included items such as cd's, tape cassettes and cases, buttons, magazines, gemstones, ribbon, confetti, and so much more! Feel free to take a look at the First Lady's blog where she reflects on our visit! //
