To close out Gaynor’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, students were treated to a performance from our neighbors at Ballet Hispánico! The dancers took students on a journey through many different countries, including Spain, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil, and showcased the various styles of dance, music, and costumes from each country.
Hispanic Heritage Month takes place from September 15 through October 15, 2025. As part of Gaynor’s celebration of this month, Gaynor Librarian Dionne De Lancy made a list of books that she recommends to our students and families. This list contains a range of genres and styles, appropriate for a wide variety of ages!
Stephen Gaynor School is hosting an Open House for Professionals in Education. During the visit, participants will have a chance to hear about our individualized curriculum, view classes in session, and meet our students and faculty. Refreshments will be served.
Beginning her career at Gaynor in 2011, Erika Bentsen was a Blue Cluster teacher for many years before making the switch to the Admissions department as Admissions Associate and Educational Evaluator in the 2024-25 school year. While to some that might seem like a big difference, to Erika it’s the best place she can be to showcase just how special Gaynor teachers are.
At Stephen Gaynor School, students with learning differences develop essential academic and critical thinking skills through individualized and evidence-based approaches, empowering them to reach their full potential. Students learn to advocate for themselves and others while actively building an inclusive community, a sense of belonging, and a belief in their own possibilities.
