Ethical Culture 1st Graders are bringing Central P Ethical Culture 1st Graders are bringing Central Park to life through a hands-on project that fuses architecture, research, and real-world understanding of the importance of green space!

After exploring the park, students returned to the classroom to construct a 3-D model of the flora, fauna, and landmarks they observed. The project offers students opportunities to present their research creatively and connect the world beyond the classroom to the lessons they learn every day.

“Our hope is that students gain a lasting appreciation for green spaces, especially Central Park, and understand its importance to New York City and our Ethical Culture community,” explains 1st Grade Head Teacher Alexandra Checkman.

Fieldston welcomed members of the 1986 Boys Varsity Basketball team, coached by John Dwinell, back to the Nest to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their undefeated season and M.A.P.S. Championship! Joined at half court by Coach Dwinell, who remains a beloved Fieldston faculty member and coach, representatives of the team were honored with a standing ovation and even signed a piece of the court, cementing their place in Fieldston Athletics history.
