Fostering a rich, supportive, and diverse community in which to study is high on the school's agenda. Informal fall and winter gatherings promoted and encouraged fellowship among students.

A School Tradition — Celebrate Halloween

At Gerstner Sloan-Kettering, Halloween is one of those holidays that requires a celebration. The scary, whimsical, and the funny came togther on Halloween evening to celebrate the fall holiday.

Third Annual Bowling Night

On January 14, the Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Student Council held its third annual bowling night at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Live music fueled the competition as four teams went head-to-head in an all-or-nothing, two game, winner-take-all battle. As is tradition, teams were captained by members of Gerstner Sloan-Kettering's founding class. Jeff Smith's team won this year's night of bowling — pulling out ahead in the end.

Third Annual Ski Trip

In February, 30 students and their significant others traveled to Mount Snow, Vermont, for a weekend of skiing and bonding. Grouped by experience levels — first-time and seasoned skiers — chair-lift rides gave students the perfect venue for becoming better acquainted. All agreed that the trip was a wonderful experience — a tradition that should continue.
