C CBS Cycling Club Cycling has broad appeal. A bike ride can be a form of regular exercise or regular stress relief. Additionally, the CBS Cycling Club offers an opportunity for members of the CBS community to interact in a forum like no other provided by Columbia. The club organizes off-road trips to nearby rural areas of New Jersey and New England, and offers bicycle purchasing advice, maintenance and technical tips. The spirit of sharing is truly felt each fall, when students, staff, and administrators' collaborative efforts make the Winter Party a reality.
Participants conduct fundraising efforts and toy drives, while some elect to plan the party.
New York City social agencies, such as Homes for the Homeless, Partnership for the Homeless, Harlem Restoration Child Care, Upward, Inc., Regent Family Residence, Reality House TLC and the Family School bring children, ages one to fourteen, to Uris. Once at the party, the children receive gifts, enjoy great food and treats, and meet their hosts. The group is inter-denominational, and it occasionally invites guest speakers in business to speak. The Class Committee promotes the Fall and Spring Balls and Graduation Week, the May graduation speaker, and the Class Gift. The Committee also has responsibility for the selection of the gift that the graduating class gives to the School each year.
