Brooklyn's New Biodegradable Lunch Trays

On March 25th, P.S. 154 held a press conference with councilman Bill DeBlasio to announce a sponsorship of a law to incorporate biodegradable lunch trays into NYC schools. Class 5-307's own Kathryn Retting was on hand to speak to the press. Channels 2 and 5 were on hand to film the event for the local news. Well done!

Four New Additions to Class 5-307

As you may have heard, our gerbils Nestor and Nacho, were thought to be both males. However, Nacho gave birth to four gerbil pups on Friday. They are currently getting acquainted to the new family at Ms. Fought's house, and photos will be up on the blog soon!
