THE UPS AND DOWNS AT SIX FLAGS  A group of our Teen Center members and Teen Scholars had the opportunity to let out some steam and spend the day at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. One of our goals for our Teen Center is to introduce our teens to new experiences outside of Port Chester. Memories were made to last a lifetime.

OUR TWEENS SHINE What would your dream community look like? Have you ever created a digital magazine or a 3D mask? How about a pet rescue facility? These were just a few of the amazing projects that our tweens imagined and created at our end-of-year student exhibition. Congratulations to Fallen Jean-Baptiste and her staff for a wonderful event and a very successful year!

OUR TEENS GIVING BACK Thanks to our passionate teens for collecting new and gently-used clothing, food, and toiletries for their recent Midnight Run to NYC. Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting the homeless. With the help from community organizations, they distribute essential items & food to NYC's homeless population. We're proud of our teens for giving back to those in need!
