Just when we thought things couldn’t get any better we end up at The Fencers club located on 20 W 33rd St, New York, NY. We had the privilege to fence in a state of the art facility, where we competed on a piste, which is 14m long and 1.5m-2m wide, as well as wear a lamé, an electrically conductive garment worn by foil and sabre fencers that is worn over the scoring area for each fencing sword type. Two of our students even had the chance to go head-to-head with our amazing coaches. This unique experience has taught us valuable skills and showed us what it takes to be a competitive fencer. Thank you for having us!
We encourage our students to read as much as they can throughout the school year as well as all summer long. We’ve already visited two bookstores, Word Up Community Bookshop & Strand, to motivate them to further their interests in reading. We are so glad they look forward to taking these trips and bringing their new books home to read.
