YEAR 1 IDENTITY BOXES








Ben Rojas helped our Year One students create identity boxes for their stopmotion movies. These boxes represent their exterior selves, their spirit animals, and their id monsters! They are Matryoshka dolls that fit inside one another. The project helps students learn how to draw the front, back, and sides of objects.

After a very successful New Design High School prom last week at Tavern on the Green an exciting pictorial spread was published today, June 11, 2009 in the Daily News. Not only did all of our youth have a safe and amazing experience - they made NYC history being the first class to have prom published in the news paper! We will surely miss the Class of 2009!
