Big Ideas in the Field: Volunteering!

Hudson 12th graders joined their peer Nichole Urena as she arranged a volunteer day at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen in Chelsea as part of her Big Idea Project about poverty.  
     Solangel, Mamadou, Maggie and Eddie worked nonstop for two hours helping to serve nearly 1000 meals. If you see these five amazing students, please ask them about their experience. 
     If you are interested in learning about future volunteer opportunities with this site, please let me know.

Big Idea Project: Meet the Experts!

Mayar Shoaeib, Santa Aquino and Joanna Arias went to visit the test kitchens at Good Housekeeping Magazine on Friday, April 11. This was an independent field trip for their Big Idea Projects. They met with super-awesome editor, Erin Phraner — learning about food, cooking and the magazine industry. Good Housekeeping is located in the beautiful and modern Hearst Magazines building on 50th and 8th. The girls learned a lot, and plan to use this experience to help their Big Idea Projects! 

Now, where can you go? Let's make it happen!

The girls meet with Good Housekeeping editor, Erin Phraner.
