Max Stossel, an award-winning poet, filmmaker, founder & CEO of Social Awakening, and Youth & Education Advisor for the Center for Humane Technology, visited Pelham Middle School students to deliver a powerful message about the true nature and impact of social media. Drawing on his experience as a former media strategist who once designed notification systems for major social media companies, Stossel provided an "insider's" look at how these platforms are engineered to capture and monopolize user attention.

After learning about the tragedy of the September 11, 2001 attacks in their Social Studies classes, the 8th graders made an impactful visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum on October 24. The students not only reviewed the facts and emotions surrounding that day, but also learned about the personal stories of heroism and the devastating loss, which included several Pelham residents. They received a powerful, personal account from former Pelham student Caitlin Leavey, who shared the moving story of her father, FDNY Lt. Joseph Leavey, who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11.
