Bay Farm School kicks off the 2023/2024 school year with brand new learning spaces—both indoor and outdoor. Superintendent Pasquale Scuderi says about the project, “Light-filled classrooms, outdoor learning spaces, and up-to-date educational technology are key to keeping students engaged, focused, and thriving.”

Our first walking tour of the year was a a lot of fun despite the chilly weather. Over 50 people joined Dennis Evanosky to tour Paru Street on Sunday, and here's an excerpt from the tour, and a teaser for the next one!
