Day #4 & Final Day in NYC - We went to the Museum of Natural History and took a walk into Central Park before getting a transfer bus to take us to LaGuardia for our return trip home. It’s been a great trip, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know everyone a little better. #WeAreMG

Day 3 in NYC is complete! We had another awesome day! We started with a short walk on the Brooklyn Bridge before going to Chinatown, Little Italy, MET, supper at Guy Ferrati’s Chicken Guy, and ended with the amazing Broadway show “& Juliet.” We’ve had a great trip! #WeAreMG

NYC Day #2 Continued- we also saw the Oculus Subway Station, took a subway ride, and ended the night at Times Square! Ready to rest again before another great day tomorrow. #WeAreMG

NYC Day #2 - Another fun-filled, perfect weather day. We saw the Empty Sky Memorial, Liberty Island & the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Battery Park, the New York Stock Exchange/Wall Street, Trinity Church, the 911 Memorial & Museum (continued in first comment) #WeAreMG

We spent time at Rockefeller Plaza, visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Bryant Park, the NY Public Library, Grand Central Terminal, ate at the Excellent Dumpling House for supper, and ended the day at the Edge at Hudson Yards. Time for bed - lol. #WeAreMG

Day 1 of the NYC trip is in the books and we are all ready to rest. Losing an hour of sleep and a 3:30 am departure from MG has made for a long, but fun day! We started in the Indy airport. Fog kept us in the air a little longer circling New York, but we finally landed. #WeAreMG

Here are some 8th graders showing off their coil clay pots that they recently created in 8th Grade Art with Mrs. Saathoff. Looks like they did a fabulous job! #WeAreMG
