Thank you for the opportunity to participate in The Rivers on the Go program with

Mr. Chris as our instructor.

 

Each year, I look forward to working with Mr. Chris. His enthusiasm, energy, and

knowledge makes a tremendous impact on both the students and staff. Through lessons

about the history of the Bronx River and the Native Americans who lived in the Bronx,

the children gained valuable knowledge and created meaningful, purposeful artwork that

reflected what they learned.

 

Every week, my students eagerly anticipated Mr. Chris’ visits and enjoyed

working with him. His ability to engage young learners and make history come alive is

truly remarkable. The parents also greatly enjoyed the end-of-program celebration,

where they had the opportunity to see the projects their children created and learn

about all they had accomplished throughout the program.

 

Our field trip to the museum was another wonderful experience. The children were able to learn about and explore different aspects of the Bronx through interactive play and hands-on activities. Everyone at the museum was welcoming, supportive, and a pleasure to work with. I am grateful for the enriching experiences The Rivers on the Go program has provided for my students. I look forward to working with Mr. Chris again next year with my new group of Kindergarten students. Thank you once again for a wonderful and memorable experience.

 

Sincerely,

I just can’t get enough of the Rivers on the Run Art Program through the Bronx Children’s Museum of Art. It helps my students comprehend global environmental disruptions by translating dense scientific facts into tangible creative projects. My students are not limited to just painting; they explore storytelling, songwriting, photography, sculpture, video, poetry, and live performance. I hope this program stays around for many more years.

 

I hope to see Mr. Chris and Ms. Mona next year.

They are such an awesome team!
