Snow What?

Snow Day!On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, a blizzard dumped 15 inches of snow on New York City. Approximately 1.1 million school children enjoyed a rare snow day when the Department of Education made an early decision to close New York City public schools and after school programming.

Over in Harlem, staff of The Brotherhood/Sister Sol braved the storm to open our offices. Although very few kids came through, the ones that did enjoyed a cozy afternoon with hot chocolate, fresh baked bread and cookies, and homemade lentil soup, watching the snowflakes fill up our community garden.
