South Pacific


On Sunday November 23rd South East took a group to see South Pacific at the Westchester Broadway Theater. Many of our participants had a great time singing along to some of their favorite songs such as "There is nothing like a dame" and "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair" and "Some Enchanted Evening". Visiting the WBT is one of our participants favorite things to do because they are able to eat a delicious meal and watch a good show!

Teen Adventure Planetarium Extravaganza


Space the final frontier. Last Saturday SEC star-gazers traveled to the Hudson River Museum to get a better glimpse at the infinite expanse that surrounds our planet.

The Hudson River Museum in Yonkers NY is home to the historic Glenview Mansion featuring six distinct period rooms, the newly revamped and now state of the art planetarium and a permanent exhibition on the Hudson River’s history, geology and bio-diversity.

The planetarium show “Our sky tonight” was our final destination on Saturday. Adventurers sat back, relaxed and stared up into the night sky. We watched as the sun took its course across the sky on a late fall day and the stars slowly appear.

Our moderator showed where we lie in the solar system in relation to our other neighboring planet. Then finally we left planet earth completely to see our galaxy (the Milky Way) in its totality.

Seeing the night’s sky from an outer space perspective can you make you feel small and insignificant but simultaneously brings us together by making you realize how close we really are.

Our Sunday Excursions group went to NYC to enjoy a Chocolate Tour this past Sunday. Needless to say we had an deliciously good time! There were 8 different places on our tour starting with Lilac Chocolates then Chocolate Bar, Magnolia Bakery, Milk and Cookies, Bisous Ciao, Xocolatti, Pasticceria Bruno and Vosges. We sampled everything from chocolate candy, cookies, macarons, cupcakes and more. 

After our tour we headed back to Grand Central where we enjoyed some pizza at Two Boots. Then to end our day we explored the outside of GCT and talked about some of the history. Everyone who attended had a really great time!
