York Prep 6th grade students took a field trip to Grand Central Terminal, November 4, in conjunction with assigned English reading, The Night Tourist, by Katherine Marsh. The novel, set in an “Underworld” beneath the Terminal, inspired students to explore its historical and mythical nature: the old brass clock; the constellations ceiling mural; the Whispering Gallery; and the statue of the ancient god, Hermes. It was an exciting trip led by York Prep history teacher and NYC tour guide, Michael Roper.
