We would like to give our sincere thanks to the Filipowicz family for their generosity and service. They have cleaned up and redesigned the landscaping in our IS 7 Reading Garden. In addition, they donated and planted beautiful perennials that we can cultivate and nurture for years to come. We are also truly grateful to the Barajas, Golberg, and Karimova families as their donations will allow us to purchase more seating for the reading garden. We are humbled by all of your kindness and consider ourselves lucky to have such amazing families within our community.
Congratulations are in order for our very own IS 7 Innovators Hack League. We placed 3rd in the entire city for our Hack League website Prototype, "Adolescent Assistants." Our project focused on assisting senior citizens in the Staten Island community during the pandemic for body mind and soul solutions. We addressed social, emotional, community, and health issues that affect our senior citizen population. IS 7 students developed and created a comprehensive website to assist seniors with many of the needs they require for healthy day-to-day living. Way to go Vikings, we could not be more proud!

Sugar is IS 7's very own adorable Comfort Dog. As many of you already know, IS 7 is part of the NYC DOE Office of Safety and Youth Development Comfort Dog Program. The 2020-2021 school year is Sugar's fourth year here at IS 7! Although Covid has made our time with Sugar in the building a little difficult this year, she is always eager to join a Google Meet. Ask your teachers to invite her to your online classes!
Sugar is going to be six years old in September 2021 and she is a lovable terrier mix breed. She keeps busy going on long walks, playing with her favorite toys and practicing some "tricks" for delicious treats. She can’t wait to be back in a classroom with the students soon!
