They carry glass turbidity tubes, foldable buckets, and chemical test kits. In a few moments, they will be busy sampling water to test its salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and nitrate levels to discover if oysters can thrive in New York Harbor. Their research is part of Saint David’s seventh-grade science curriculum and The  \nBillion Oyster Project, which aims to add 1 billion  \noysters to the New York Harbor with the help of students, parents, and volunteers.  \nScience teacher Mr. Sam Woolford brought the program to Saint David’s because it allows students to work on real-world environmental issues that challenge scientists.  \n“Oysters are natural filters, eating algae and dirt, and then pumping out clean water. Many oysters also form habitats, which protect aquatic life from storms. They are vital to the health of New York Harbor,” Woolford said.“In the 1600s, which was considered the prime for oysters, the water was much cleaner than the New York Harbor today due to the large amounts of oysters. But they were over-harvested, removing the natural filter from our harbor. That’s why we are involved in this project to bring them back.”  \n` Lucas Chung, part of this year’s team of  \nstudent-scientists, called the program “an enriching experience. It helped us understand the process needed to keep the New York Harbor healthy.”  \nBy the time the boys finished their research in November, they had discovered the biodiversity of other creatures cohabitating in the oyster cages. One day they found a sea horse living among the oysters. Students immediately named him Tyrone and asked if he could return to Saint David’s.  \n(Above and top) Grade 7 studying oysters  \nNews  \nThanksgiving Food Drive  \nBy Jack Janus ’25  \nFifty-seven years ago, in 1967, Assistant Headmaster Mr. Malachy Cleary began one of Saint David’s longest-standing traditions: the Thanksgiving Food Drive.  \nSince then, Saint David’s students have donated over 4,500 boxes of canned goods and groceries, and 8,000 boxes of food throughout the entire history of the drive, according to estimates by Mr. Thomas Ryan, who has organized the drive for many years. The eighth grade isin charge of collecting the food and encouraging all students to participate.  \nDonations have been given to different organizations over the years. For the past three decades, however, the school has donated food to Bethel Gospel Assembly Church in Harlem, where Mr. William Best resides as a deacon. The school also donates food to Mr. Stanley Livingston's parish, United Congregational Church, in Bridgeport, CT.  \n\"It's always an honor and privilege as we thank Saint David's for the donation of turkey and food we feed the Harlem community on Thanksgiving Day,” said Mr. Best, who is one of the building services workers at school.“We feed close to 400 or 500 people on Thanksgiving, and we clothe them. Sometimes, they’re families. A lot of migrants. In other words, if you’re in the community and in need of food, you’re more than welcome.”  \nMr. Livingston said,“It’s a great thing the boys are doing. I’m glad to help in any way I can.”  \nIn New York, 44 percent of families with children don't have enough food, according to a recent report from the non-profit group Robin Hood.  \n“The need always grows,” said Mr. Ryan. “There are always people who are hungry, whether in our neighborhood or across the globe.\" He added that “this is a perfect alignment with Saint David's values because we follow Saint David's values for helping our neighbors.\"  \nIn addition to food donations, the drive sells delicious holiday pies and collects donation envelopes. Funds from these activities are used to buy “groceries, breakfast sausage, and more, allowing us to help feed more people,” said Mr. Ryan.  \nAlex Jo","cbCaisVLrH4ezgWY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisVLrH4ezgWY","pdf",9597847,"English","# Seventh Graders Conduct New Marine Research!\n# Thanksgiving Food Drive\n# DUFS Returns to the American Museum of Natural History","[{\"question\":\"What marine research did seventh graders conduct in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"They hiked to New York Harbor to sample water and test salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and nitrate levels to determine whether oysters can thrive, as part of the Billion Oyster Project.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Thanksgiving Food Drive tradition at Saint David’s?\",\"answer\":\"It is a long-standing yearly drive started in 1967, where students donate canned goods and groceries and sell holiday pies and donation envelopes to support feeding local community members.\"},{\"question\":\"What is DUFS and what did students do at the museum?\",\"answer\":\"DUFS is the Digital Universe Flight School program that has students research questions about the universe using high-tech simulators and present their findings at the American Museum of Natural History.\"}]","Canticle - Vol. XXIV No. 1 - Fall 2024 | PDF",1789462690,29]
