HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON LAUNCH!
Through a partnership with CCNY, Solutions Now teamed up with Launch with Us, which has a High-Altitude Ballooning Program that stimulates student interest in STEM by having them engineer a 1600g balloon launch and develop experiments on how objects will survive on the surface of Mars. High-altitude balloons take the student’s experiments to the upper stratosphere, 22 miles above the earth, where the atmospheric conditions are analogous to the surface of Mars.
PICKLEBALL COMES TO HARLEM!
Through a partnership with City Pickle, Solutions Now was able to offer the children of Taft free pickleball lessons throughout the summer. Pickleball is unique in that it is suitable for all ages and reinforces conscious inclusion and character building while promoting physical, social, emotional, and mental wellness in children.
“FALL” IN LOVE WITH HOLIDAY HILL
Holiday Hill is a 200-acre private farm in central Connecticut where our Taft families are invited to spend the day swimming, kayaking, playing and most important being with and getting to know their neighbors outside of the confines of the Taft houses. The children did everything from face painting to competing in pie-eating contests. It does a wonderful job of bringing the Taft community of parents and children together for a memorable annual event that kicks off our Fall program.
