Students (including the two pictured here) enrolled in the 100 Black Men of Syracuse’s Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) were treated first-hand to a history lesson of a different sort during a recent field trip to Green Lakes State Park. During their visit, the students utilized their artistic skills inspired by the scenery along the park’s numerous walking trails and the two glacial lakes surrounded by an upland forest that they learned can be traced back to the end of the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago. Images from the students’ trip are posted online at https://photos.app.goo.gl/McMb1KFev5CZKjXA8. If you would like to enroll your fourth through eighth grader for the next session of YEP, the 100’s weekly education program, complete the interest form posted online at https://www.bcombs.com/application/108.
