It was another great Roosevelt Island Day, on June 15, 2013 !
This year, scores of children and adults came together with A Living Library to plant the Roosevelt Island Living Library & Think Park. A Living Library, led by Bonnie Ora Sherk and Life Frames, Inc. the non-profit sponsor of A.L.L., have been working with the community of RI since 2001.
This Living Library Garden experience has gone on each year since since 2002 ! Very Auspicious !
And, please notice the pics of Reynaud watering the plants below. He has done this each year since he was a PreK student at PS 217. He is almost finished with High School now !
Thank you Doryne Eisley from Urban America and Steve Chironis from RIOC for helping to make this possible. And, of course, thank you to the many children and adults who participated ! Stop by behind 504 Main Street, and enjoy the beautiful results ! If you would like to get your hands in the dirt, volunteers are also always welcome !!
