"Wildfire smoke from the west coast has taken a toll on the Big Apple, forcing thousands of students in New York City's Summer Rising program to stay indoors. The program, designed to provide free summer school and activities for over 250,000 students, has been disrupted due to poor air quality caused by the massive wildfires. As a result, schools and community centers hosting the program have been forced to close their outdoor spaces, leaving many children to miss out on planned activities and events. The decision to keep students indoors comes as a precautionary measure to protect their health, highlighting the far-reaching impact of the wildfires on the East Coast."
