The City School District of New Rochelle's free COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Wednesday, in partnership with the Westchester County Department of Health, was a success! Overall, 57 received vaccinations at New Rochelle High School. This included 38 booster shots, 13 vaccinations of children receiving a first dose and six who received their second dose.

The next clinic will be April 20, also at New Rochelle High School. Registration details will be announced soon.

Shelli Owens

Malikh Ifill

The Barnard Early Childhood Center is now under the leadership of Interim Principal Shelli Owens and Assistant Principal Malikh Ifill. The newly minted Barnard administrators began working in their new roles in the past two weeks and are looking forward to greeting students getting off the bus and getting to know the parents and families of the children who attend their school. 

Owens has had a lifelong connection to New Rochelle through her grandparents, who lived here since she was born. She came to live with them for her senior year and graduated from New Rochelle High School. After graduating from Lincoln University, Owens returned to New Rochelle and has worked at Trinity, Jefferson, and Columbus Elementary Schools before being named Principal at Barnard. 

She said Barnard offers opportunities to develop children at a younger age, and her vision is to envelop them in love and care and support and develop them into great people poised for success in their neighborhood schools. She is excited to work with the teachers at Barnard to help the children grow to be independent and have agency. 

“The teachers are loving and caring and really care about the children,” she said. “There’s a level of support that the children get here that is ingrained in them. There’s a different flavor in the building that you don’t feel in a kindergarten-through-fifth-grade school. We are not a day care center, but we are the first people that parents give their children to, and we take that very seriously.”

Owens credited her experience in the school district with setting her up for success as Barnard Principal. Her fifth-graders from Columbus also sent her encouragement in the form of a “positivity jar” full of 60 positive messages – one for each month they spent with her as an Assistant Principal at Columbus. The jar is modeled after Columbus’ positivity wall, where children post words and images that make them feel good and are allowed to take other students’ posts that also make them feel positive. 

Owens and Ifill are grateful for the support they have had since being appointed to their new positions and are eager to get to know the faculty and families at Barnard. 

“Whatever we can do to support everyone is what we’re going to do. We are going to learn and grow together.” 

They will begin by meeting with staff after spring recess, and getting to know parents, guardians, and students through the PTA, visits, and during student dropoff and pickup. They pledge to be visible, accessible partners in their students’ learning and development.

Director of Family and Community Engagement Joins School District

Edward Castro has joined the City School District of New Rochelle as the Director of Family and Community Engagement. Here, he offers an introduction:

As the new Family and Community Engagement Director for the City School District of New Rochelle, I hope to partner with our community to build upon the family and community engagement already present in our schools. For (almost) the past decade, I have worked in New York City and Chicago public schools leveraging community partnerships to enhance student learning and to identify opportunities to maximize efficient collaboration while meeting our schools’ needs.  

My goal is to further develop collaboration and communication among schools, community partners, and families to best support students as they progress through our schools. Aligning stakeholders toward a common goal has enabled me to increase the support available for alternative high school programs and schools in low-income neighborhoods in Boston, Chicago, and New York City. I look forward to connecting with our dedicated staff and dynamic community to support and expand our students’ achievement and success.

I can be reached at ecastro@nredlearn.org or at (914) 576-4484, ext. 39126.

In honor of Women’s History Month, the Mascaro Womens Auxiliary of the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle hosted a thought-provoking panel via Zoom about raising children of color. Several members of the City School District of New Rochelle were among the community leaders who engaged in honest discussions about their experiences as parents and educators.

The event was moderated by Emma Silva, President of the Mascaro Women’s Auxiliary Club, and William Iannuzzi, Director of the Mascaro Clubhouse and a member of the Board of Education. Other school district team members who attended include:

• Adina Berrios Brooks, Board of Education Vice President, who served as a panelist
• Camille Edwards-Thomas, Principal, Albert Leonard Middle School
• Katie Castellano Minaya, Board of Education Member
• Margaret Bavosa, Board of Education Member
• Francis Cruz, Interim Assistant Principal, Columbus Elementary School
• Aisha Cook, Fourth-Grade Teacher, Columbus Elementary School, who served as a panelist
• Jennifer Pilarte, Bilingual Social Worker, Barnard Early Childhood Center, also a panelist.

The panel covered a wide range of topics from building self-esteem at a young age to the prejudices and injustices that young women and men of color face -- and how to address them with children. 

Berrios Brooks encouraged parents to be honest with their children about their own experiences and those of family members. She said, “Letting kids know what the people they love and respect have gone through, and that it might happen to them but that it won’t defeat [them],” is powerful. “It makes them realize that the moment they’re having isn’t the only moment they’re going to have.”

Edwards-Thomas said that as parents of children of color, “We end up having conversations very early on that are really sensitive about how they’re feeling, and how they feel like they take up space, and how people receive them. You’re building up a tough skin early on … through conversations that people may not be happy to see you or have you here.” She said it is incumbent upon schools and community leaders to provide “systemic opportunities for people to learn, grow and discuss” together.

Cook shared that as a teacher, she’s cognizant of representation. “My bookshelf is filled with [books of] children of different races who have different hair,” she said. “I think once kids see people who look like them, they start to feel more confident about the way they look.”

Other panelists included Dr. Rosa Rivera-McCutchen, Det. Melissa Diniz, and Valerie Cadet Simpkins.

The full forum can be viewed on YouTube here.

The students in New Rochelle High School’s Science Research Program explore a dazzling range of topics under the mentorship of experts from some of the top institutions of learning and exploration. Students’ projects will regularly be featured in this Newsletter.

Student: Jessica Shapiro, Senior

Mentor: Jean Mulcahy Levy, MD, Children's Hospital Colorado

We’ve all heard about the physical effects of COVID-19, which can include loss of smell and taste, trouble breathing, coughing and fever. But what about the mental effects? For her study, New Rochelle High School senior Jessica Shapiro considered how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the mental health of pediatric cancer patients and their parents. 

Shapiro’s research involved creating a survey with the help of her mentor, Jean Mulcahy Levy, MD, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado. The survey was then sent to several pediatric cancer patients, the parents of pediatric cancer patients and pediatric non-cancer patients.

She used a crowdsourcing marketplace called Amazon Mechanical Turk to collect the responses, then organized the data in Google Sheets. Lastly, she ran data analysis on the information, which yielded some interesting results.

“I found that pediatric cancer patients are more afraid during school than the pediatric non-cancer participant group (children who did not have cancer between 13 and 18 years old),” Shapiro said. “I also found that both pediatric cancer patients and their parents experienced higher levels of concern about becoming infected with COVID-19. Pediatric cancer patients and their parents also showed higher levels of fear, anxiety and stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Shapiro has had an interest in pediatrics since childhood and aspires to be a pediatric surgeon. She decided to study the mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients because one of her family members suffers from pancreatic cancer. 

Shapiro thanked New Rochelle’s Science Research Program and its director, Jeff Wuebber, for providing her with guidance and direction. 

“Before the [Science Research Program], I hadn't really thought about research in college all that much,” she said. “But now, I know for sure that I want to pursue research opportunities while in college.”

Girls Leadership Conference Provides Powerful Inspiration

Inspire. Educate. Empower.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, Albert Leonard Middle School collaborated with community partners to create an event to Inspire, Educate and Empower girls and their parents.

The ALMS Girls Leadership Conference was a huge success! Young women from ALMS and Isaac E. Young Middle School attended the event with their parents and guardians. The morning started off with a high-energy performance from the Team Joy step team – their first live performance in two years. Shante Dixon, the advisor for Team Joy, which was started by the late Karen Johnson, who was a teacher at the school, beamed with pride as she looked on from the sidelines.

After the opening remarks by ALMS Principal Camille Edwards-Thomas, the parents met in the library for their panel discussion entitled “The Truth About Raising Girls.” Panelists included a mix of clinicians and mothers, including Dr. Adowa Akhu, Dara Joseph, Dr. Audrey Brotus, Linda Olivierio, and Camille Banks-Lee. 

Student workshops focused on the following topics: healthy relationships, SMART Girls, being the only girl in a male-dominated industry, and success in high school. Workshop facilitators included members of the New Rochelle Police Department, the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle, New Rochelle High School students Skye Hill, Natalie Chang, Emma Farley, and Aislynn Pineda, and One Love Foundation members.

While the parents participated in a heartfelt discussion about raising strong girls, the girls attended a “GirlTalk” panel discussion moderated by Edwards-Thomas. Panelists represented numerous backgrounds, including STEM, entrepreneurs, and social and environmental services.

The culminating activity consisted of all participants gathering in the cafeteria for lunch. DJ Jelani, otherwise known as seventh-grader Jelani Chambers, provided the music. The Youth Bureau Team sponsored and served lunch from AJ’s Burgers.

Activities Aplenty at Webster

There’s always a buzz of activity at Daniel Webster Elementary School! Recent activities include:

• On March 22, fourth- and fifth-graders participating in the Kaleidoscope program received a visit from the New Rochelle Police Department as part of students’ unit on forensic science. The visit included a presentation on forensic science from the criminal investigations unit. Detective Sgt. Dwayne Jones, Detective Steven Geertgens, and Police Officer Nicole DeCarlo shared their expertise with the students and answered questions. Additionally, the students were treated to a demonstration by the canine (K-9) unit. Police Officer Gary Moss and his dog Jodie, with the help of Police Officer Michael Nader, impressed the students with their skills. The visit was both educational and fun.

• A Coffee with the Principal was held on March 24. Literacy Coach Jennifer Meyer and Principal Melissa Passarelli facilitated a discussion around Webster's philosophy on literacy instruction, what drives our instruction, and how we use data to inform teaching and learning.

• Students are participating in the PTA-sponsored Readathon, challenging themselves to read each day and share their favorite books with classmates and friends. Through dress-up on March 25, students brought their favorite book characters to life in the halls of the school. 

• Webster students began a focus on health and wellness March 28. Students are invited to take the Healthy Snack Challenge for two weeks, eating fruits and vegetables each day, and then logging what they eat. On April 7 and April 8, the entire school will engage in a Fit Fair, rotating through fitness stations and trying new activities.

• The Scholastic Book Fair was held March 14-16.

FLORES Program at Trinity

Cultivates Families’ STEM Knowledge

FLORES is back for a second year at Trinity Elementary School! FLORES stands for Family Learning and Outreach for Research and Education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This program was created by Dr. Amanda Gunning and Dr. Meghan Marrero, co-directors of the Mercy College Center for STEM Education. The FLORES Program has been implemented in many school districts -- and even in Ireland.

In this program, kindergarten and first-grade students, along with their parents, engage together in STEM activities in their native language. At Trinity, two groups are taught in English and two in Spanish. Classes are taught by four dedicated and expert Trinity teachers: Rachel Collens, Griselda Peña, Adrienne Quinn, and Yesenia Sanchez.

In the first session last week, students and their parents investigated different materials and their properties. First, families explored different types of materials, such as aluminum foil, felt, wax paper and construction paper. Next, each family used the Engineering Design Process to create and test a dog house. They tested several roofing materials by simulating rain with a dropper or spray bottle. Then, families discussed their observations and determined which roofing material was the best for keeping out the rain.

In the second session, families will investigate sound and waves. Finally, in the third session, students will explore coding using a mouse robot.

Some goals of the program are to teach families how to ask questions to facilitate science learning and to build science self-efficacy in both students and parents. This program also helps to develop students’ fundamental science knowledge and vocabulary, and builds 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and problem-solving.
