Studio Jacked in Nanuet is Offering a Hip Hop Program for Students with Special Needs
Owner of Studio Jacked Dance Company in Nanuet Jackie Galgano created a hip hop dance program for students with special needs based on her experiences with her own 3-year-old son, who has autism. His love of dancing–and the lack of activities available for kids with special needs in Rockland County–led to the creation of this program in Nanuet. The hip hop classes, which are held on Friday evenings beginning this month, aim to allow kids with special needs to express themselves while introducing adults to a community of like-minded parents.

The Best Foods for Brain Development
As parents, we all want our children to succeed in school and excel in academics, but did you know what they eat throughout the day can impact their performance? In fact, students who eat meals that are aligned with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) are better learners, receive higher test scores, earn higher academic grades, and have reduced instances of being absent from school, says Kim Doyle, senior director of nutrition and compliance at Revolution Foods, citing a 2018 study from the University of California, Berkeley.

The Central Park Conservancy Unveils Design for Restoration and Reunification of North End on Upper West Side
The Central Park Conservatory unveiled its plan to reunify the northern part of the park with the Harlem Meer on September 18 at a media briefing at the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center. For years, the Lasker Pool (and seasonal ice rink) has stood as a physical and symbolic separation between the Meer and the rest of the park, and has become run-down and out of sync with the community, according to officials. The Conservatory’s project, which will break ground after the 2021 pool season, will raze Lasker, build an oblong pool/rink, create a community space that is built into the side of the ravine, and re-open the watercourse between the Meer and the water flowing through the north end of the park.
