The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island are teaming up with the National Park Foundation and park concessioners Statue Cruises and Evelyn Hill, Inc. to provide a free and immersive educational experience to fourth-grade classes.

Fourth-graders will participate in The Journey, an experiential education program where students will be “processed” on Ellis Island as immigrants from the early twentieth century. The Journey was developed by education staff at the National Museum of Immigration on Ellis Island.

The program celebrates the National Park Service Centennial (1916-2016) and is part of the White House’s Every Kid in a Park initiative designed to inspire the next generation to discover America’s public lands.

This free program is made possible by a grant from National Park Foundation and is targeted to Title I schools in the metropolitan area during March, April, and May. Ferry transportation to the islands and lunch will be provided for the program at no cost to the participating schools.

"The 2016 Centennial really pulls into focus the challenge of engaging a new generation of leaders who will carry the park service mission into the next century,” said Superintendent, John Piltzecker. “I’m very pleased that we, along with our partners, have crafted a program that rises to that challenge by giving fourth-graders the chance to experience the immigration story Ellis Island represents.”

“We are proud of our involvement with the 2016 National Park Service Centennial,” says Mike Burke, VP/COO of Statue Cruises. “By offering this program to fourth- graders in this region, we hope to inspire in them a lifelong connection to parks across our nation.” Statue Cruises is the official transportation concessioner for the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island.

Park concessioner Evelyn Hill Inc. will provide free lunch vouchers to participating students. "We are excited to be part of this immersive experience for fourth-graders and look forward to hosting our next generation of leaders," said Bob Uffer, General Manager.

About Ellis Island

Opened on January 1, 1892, Ellis Island became the nation's premier federal immigration station. In operation until 1954, more than 12 million immigrants were processed at the station. It has been estimated that more than 40 percent of America’s population today can trace their ancestry through Ellis Island. After 30 years of abandonment, the main building was restored by The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation and, working in partnership with the National Park Service, opened as a museum in September 1990. www.nps.gov/elis

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
