ON NOVEMBER 20TH, GEAR UP STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE INVITED TO ATTEND THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN’S ANNUAL HOLIDAY TRAIN SHOW.
WHILE THERE, THEY WERE ABLE TO OBSERVE BEAUTIFUL MODELS OF REAL-LIFE TRAINS AND NEW YORK CITY LOCATIONS CREATED BY PAUL BUSSE, WHO ALSO MADE THE VERY FIRST TRAIN SHOW IN 1992.
THANKS TO OUR PARTNERS AT PONCE DE LEON FEDERAL BANK, FAMILIES WERE ALSO TAUGHT VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT SAVING MONEY FOR A CHILD’S EDUCATION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATING A SAVINGS ACCOUNT THROUGH A VISUAL PRESENTATION WITH A GUEST SPEAKER. FAMILIES WERE PROVIDED WITH REFRESHMENTS DURING THE EVENT. THEY APPRECIATED BOTH THE BEAUTY OF THE SHOW AND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE WORKSHOP.
ENCLOSED IN THIS PACKAGE ARE PHOTOS OF THE FAMILIES ENGAGING WITH THE HOLIDAY TRAIN SHOW AND THE WORKSHOP. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY SEEING THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH THE EVENT.
