Sixth-Graders Visit Liberty Science Center and Financial District in NYC
On Monday, June 3, the 6th Grade visited the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, and the Financial District in NYC. The student-led tours of the Financial District, dubbed "Hiller Tours," included Federal Hall, the Federal Reserve Bank, Wall Street, Trinity Church, Ellis Island (from afar), One World Trade, the Charging Bull and the New York Stock Exchange.

Through the kindness of sixth-grade parent Nicole Fanandakis and her father, Nick Fanandakis, the students were welcomed to the trading floor of the NYSE to witness the ringing of the closing bell by the DuPont Company. This closing bell commemorated and celebrated DuPont's spin-off from Corteva and DowDuPont to become a publicly traded company. How fortuitous for the 6th Grade to be in New York on this historical day, and how fortunate for the 6th Grade to have this extraordinary opportunity made possible by Ms. Fanandakis.
