Midwood has always showed our support for this lecture series by sending a large number of students. Please register at the NYACS website if you are interested in attending. Get there a bit early if possible. Light refreshments have traditionally been served beforehand. Single use MetroCards will be made available for any student who needs one. One point of extra credit will be awarded to all students who attend and complete this assignment. Official attendance is taken by group photo at the end of the event. Place your completed (typed) assignment in my mailbox in the Research Room at any time during the school day on Friday, October 26.
