DY Prep students meet Armani


DY Prep students perform for Armani

On Tuesday, February 17th, during the craziness of Fashion Week, the designer, Giorgio Armani, took the time to visit the Bronx and meet with some of our very own DreamYardians.

Among the students present, Denise Cotto and Jesica Blandon had the privilege of performing poetry for the distinguised designer. The entire visit took place at the newly constructed office for DreamYard, a site that will be made available to students afterschool.
