UPPER SCHOOL PRESENTS FIRST IN-PERSON PLAY IN 20 MONTHS
Congrats to the Upper School students in the cast and crew of 'June July August,' who just completed a successful run of performances! This was BC's first play in front of in-person audiences in 20 months.
The play follows a group of teenage junior counselors at all-girls summer camp in the Middle of Nowhere, Upstate New York. Over three life-changing months together, they navigate the complexities of womanhood, social hierarchies, and the irreversible consequences of their actions when things get gravely out of hand. Photo gallery or watch the show on YouTube.
BC FRESHMAN'S ART FEATURED IN MET MUSEUM EXHIBIT
Congratulations to Ula K. '25, whose charcoal on paper self-portrait was on display last month at the Met Museum as part of their "PS Art 2021" competition, which celebrates achievement in the arts in NYC's public schools. Ula entered her work in this juried exhibition of talented young artists last spring and was named a finalist when she was an 8th grader at New Voices/MS 443. The next stop for the exhibit is City Hall!
3RD GRADERS LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LENAPE PEOPLE AT PROSPECT PARK RAVINE
3rd graders visited Prospect Park Ravine as part of their social studies unit on the Indigenous people of New York. Students visualized what New York was like for the Lenape people 500 years ago, while using their senses to observe and sketch the natural landscape.
VIDEO: BC'S STUDIO & JAZZ ENSEMBLES DELIVER A DELIGHTFUL EVENING OF MUSIC
It was a lovely evening of live music with Berkeley Carroll's Jazz Messengers, Jazz Ensemble and Studio Ensemble. During the concert, students played pieces by legendary musicians, including Duke Ellington, Tadd Dameron, Alicia Keys and Queen. Watch the full concert.
FIRST GRADERS VISIT FARMER'S MARKET & MEET FARMER DAN
1st graders walked to the Farmer's Market at Bartel Pritchard Square where they met with Farmer Dan, who shared about his job (he wakes up at 2:30 in the morning and grows lots of apples and pumpkins) and answered their questions. Along the way, they stopped to eat and play in Prospect Park-- first in the meadow and then at Harmony Playground. At the end of their visit, each student got to pick a pumpkin to take home and every class got a pumpkin.
STUDENTS PLAY BASKETBALL TO HELP LOCAL FOOD PANTRY
Upper School students hosted a 3-on-3 basketball tournament as part of the Strength in Numbers co-curricular to collect non-perishable donations and raise money for a local food pantry.
