The boys basketball team is having a great Spring! Since April 7th, the boys have adjusted and practiced and played games outside!
So far, the boys are undefeated (5-0) in non leagues/scrimmages.
The PSAL season started last week with a loss to Manhattan A powerhouse Seward Park.
Starting this week, the PSAL schedule gets cranked up and the boys look to continue their success and hard work!
Japanese Incarceration survivor Takeshi Furumoto came to Mr. King's 8th Social Studies class to tell his story of being forced to live in prison-like conditions during World War II because of his Japanese heritage.
The students were so impressed by Tak's patriotism and positivity in response to such a difficult experience.
Tak is one of the few remaining survivors of this tragic event in American history. Mr. King's class spent weeks learning about the US government's decision to incarcerate the people of Japanese descent and had so many excellent questions for him!
Tak volunteered for the Vietnam War and served with distinction earning a Bronze Star! Tak is a true American hero!
Today, CHAH welcomed back our middle school students in grades 6-8. The students abided by the CDC and DoE guidelines, wearing masks and socially distancing. It was not easy, but we all worked together.
Thank you to all the students and staff who made today successful!
Thanks to Patrick Satalin, the Chief of Staff from the office of Congressman Welch (D-VT) for stopping by Mr. King's 8th Grade Social Studies class.
Pat told the students about his experiences being in the Capitol building for the riots on January 6th.
CHAH students asked thoughtful questions are were appreciative of Pat's honest answers.
The educational blog SchoolSparrow.com cited CHAH as one of the top public schools in NYC! Using a slightly different algorithm, the website ranks schools according to student growth instead of just test scores. Check out the website and the full article by clicking on the link below:
