On Wednesday, January 18, 2017 the Sixth grade class of Wintergreen made their annual trip to New York City.  Led by the sixth grade team of Mary Ellen Rourke, Mary Connolly,  Tatiana Duncan and music teacher Kathryn Morse the students had the amazing opportunity to attend the New York Philharmonic and hear Antonin Dvorak's NEW WORLD SYMPHONY at Lincoln Center.  In preparation for the concert students studied what inspired Dvorak to create music for this new world called America.  This included the music of Native Americans and African American Spirituals, and some popular literature of the day, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's SONG OF HIAWATHA.

After the concert the students traveled across town to tour the United Nations where they Visited  the newly renovated General Assembly Hall, the Security Council Chamber, the Trusteeship Council Chamber, and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Chamber in the renovated Conference Building.  They also learned how the United Nations addresses issues such as disarmament, peace and security, human rights, and the Millennium Development Goals.
