On the last day of school at St. Philip Neri, art teacher Eveline Suarez happily paraded around the heavily-decorated hallways of her building and pointed out all the beautiful artwork her students had produced over the course of the year.
There were murals, collages, Egyptian hieroglyphics and brightly-colored masks, to name just a few of the ubiquitous exhibits that had turned the Catholic school on the Grand Concourse into a mini-Guggenheim.
"These kids did such a wonderful job," said Suarez. "Just look at all the talent on display here."

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
