Each school participating videotaped their best performance piece and submitted it to the Gilder Lehrman Insti- tute. Gonzalez's original poem, "Alexander Hamilton: My Life," was selected by the Gilder Lehrman Institute, to be performed for the cast of Hamilton and students from other participating schools. In preparation for this event, teachers Karen Tucker and Lisette Van Voorhis guided 15 of the selected American History students through a unique, five-day hands-on class project using Gilder Lehrman Institute resources to introduce them to the people, events and documents of the found- GAY ROSEN ing era.

Lipken A special float, commemorating the 325th An- niversary of the City of New Rochelle highlighted the November 23 Valenti-New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade.

Iona College fielded a huge “Mayflow- er” display, running on bulldozer treads and sounding a horn reminiscent of a diesel locomotive whistle, as well as a giant inflatable “Killian the Gael” mascot on a float incorporating all Iona athletic teams plus the college’s renowned Bagpipe Band. Monroe College presented an elaborate float with the Statue of Liberty and two bright blue “Mustang” mascots. Chamber of Commerce featured a giant turkey; “Boss Tone” and “Sass Transit” (roller derby names) from Suburbia Roller Derby sported helmets with Chanukah dreidels and royal blue menorah. Some marchers promoted social awareness and responsibility, such as New Rochelle Humane Society, Salvation Army, American Red Cross and drum corps from Habitat for Humanity. Clowns joined the festivities, as well as midget fire truck, “Little Squirt, Engine Company 273.” Before the parade, a Pancake Breakfast was served in New Rochelle High School cafeteria.

  • An Early and Unique American Settlement Ew Rochelle in the 17
    An Early and Unique American Settlement ew Rochelle in the 17 th and 18 th Centuries In the early years of New York, when only a few small hamlets dotted the forests and fields of what is now Westchester County, a small group of French Protestant refugees called “Huguenots”, made their way to a stretch of land that began at the banks of Long Island Sound. Having fled their homeland to realize a life in which they could practice their Protestant religion freely, the dozen or so families, with Jacob Leisler acting as the go-between, purchased 6,000 acres from John Pell, signing the deed in 1689. They named it after the last Huguenot stronghold in France, the Port of La Rochelle. These early settlers chose their new home wisely. The land was fertile and farmable. Its Long Island Sound location provided for abundant fishing, gainful tidal mills and lucrative water- related trade and industry. The new community was connected to northern settlements and to New York by the Boston Post Road—the leading thoroughfare of the Colonies, which traced the ancient pathways of the Siwanoy Indians along the Sound shoreline. It was also only 18 miles to reach the French Church in Manhattan, and about 24 miles to the mercantile hub of New York. Merchants, landowners, tradesmen, farmers… despite their varied backgrounds, the first forty or so families shared a desire to worship freely. They had the joint disadvantage of having little money or material goods. All had been left behind in France during their flights to safety.
