DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Wednesday, March 29, 2023
This month is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate and honor the contributions and accomplishments of women throughout history. Today we celebrate Margaret Hamilton, an engineer who led the team who programmed the code that allowed the Apollo 11 spacecraft to land safely on the Moon’s surface. Minutes before touchdown, the computer started spitting out error messages. The mission was in danger. Luckily, Margaret had set up the computer to focus on the main task and ignore everything else. So instead of aborting the mission, Apollo 11 landed safely on the Moon.

Thank you Bring It NYC! for the free water bottles for all students. We encourage everyone to bring their reusable bottle to reduce the amount of plastic water bottles that are used each day in school!
Please read the message from Bring It NYC!
Dear Students,
Today, we’re asking you to BRING IT!
To get you started, you and your classmates will each receive a new reusable water bottle from S’well. It will keep your water cold all day, and when you bring your reusable bottle everywhere you go, you show that one person’s actions make a difference for our city and our planet.
Why BRING IT?
Humans around the world purchase a staggering one million plastic bottles per minute! They’re used once and then thrown away. If not recycled, that plastic breaks down and it ends up in our soil and food supply, ultimately impacting our health. Gross. You can change that.When you each BRING IT and carry a reusable bottle everywhere you go, you can prevent about 167 plastic bottles from ending up in our trash each year. When you and your classmates BRING IT, we can keep 54 million plastic bottles out of our trash.
Go to www.BRINGIT.nyc to learn more and stay tuned for information on how you can get involved with the BRING IT movement in school this year.
