Bright, colorful art projects decorate the art room at PS 340, from replicas of ancient Mayan masks to papier-mâché gourd bowls. They are all the work of the students.
The inspiration for the art show was South America – from the Mayans to residents of the Caribbean, all of the art was representative of older cultures. Two students gave small group tours, explaining how each piece of art was made. Art teacher Mrs. Curley was also in attendance, watching as the parents and other students looked around at the colorful works

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.
