WHEELS 5th graders wrote a song inspired by Tracy K. Smith's modern interpretation of Friedrich Schiller's "Ode to Joy." The WHEELS students' song, "Let Our Song Bring Joy to Earth," was selected to be performed at this concert in Carnegie Hall! The 5th graders are preparing to play and sing their song with a professional ensemble. Thank you to Jason Marshall for visiting WHEELS to help arrange and rehearse our song!

Thank you to the Bachata Academy, from the Dominican Republic, for visiting WHEELS to play a concert for the second year in a row! Like last year, WHEELS students enjoyed dancing to the amazing bachata music.

Congratulations to Javy Polanco, WHEELS 9th grader and Manhattan borough winner of the 92nd St. Y Teen Arts Week Citizen-Artist Award!
