CLASSROOM SHOWCASE

This week I'm sharing some pictures from Harlem:

Elke's WH 1/2 T/TH 10-12 class

Lianne's HL WIOA 4-6 M/W

Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.

Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org
