Libraries are an essential part of our ECFS academ Libraries are an essential part of our ECFS academic experience, providing students with a warm and welcoming environment to explore literacy, practice research skills, and spend time together. From classroom lending libraries to the Tate, students practice the freedom and critical thinking skills to choose books that expand their knowledge and horizons.
NASA’s Artemis II mission has captured the imagina NASA’s Artemis II mission has captured the imagination of our Fieldston Lower community! Over Sprince Recess, more than 60 students in 3rd–5th Grade gathered to watch the launch virtually, calling in from far-flung places to experience this historic moment together.

The launch is especially meaningful for our 4th Grade students, who are deep into their “Ice Quest” unit, a simulated lunar mission using LEGO robotics technology. As the Integrity spacecraft prepares for its return to Earth, students are excitedly anticipating “splashdown” and the chance to bring this real-world event to life in their classrooms!

Before heading to break, Ethical Culture 4th Grade Before heading to break, Ethical Culture 4th Graders took to the stage in their original play, “The Quest for the Cauliflower Crystal!” 

Over a few months, students collaborated with Music teacher Amy Travis to steward the play from their initial idea to their final performance. As playwrights, composers, and actors, they created an entire world on stage, with everything from a dragon rap battle to a villain puppeteered by several students. The play’s ending was a triumphant celebration of the power of community, as the characters banded together to build a brighter future through bravery and collaboration. Congratulations, 4th Grade!
