In celebration of Columbus Day, the students of Public School No.2 held an assembly for the entire student body, where they showed an animated film about Christopher Columbus. Arts students from the sixth grade also worked in collaboration with students in the third grade to host a Columbus Day Storyboard art exhibition.  

Third grade students acted as orators and performed readings about Christopher Columbus, while the sixth graders displayed their works of art in honor of Columbus Day. The sixth grade students created maps of the New World, which were drawn up after Columbus’ discovery. The art students also used class techniques to age the maps and make them appear authentic.
