HHS Winterguard team crowned champions
Hicksville High School’s WinterGuard team was crowned champion of the Scholastic AA Group at the Mid-Atlantic Indoor Network Championship that was held at the RWJBarnabas Health Arena in Toms River, New Jersey on April 22–23. WinterGuard is a judged pageantry performance ensemble that uses a combination of dance, movement, and equipment such as flags, sabers, and rifles. The Hicksville team placed first in their division that was comprised of 18 other guards from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Hicksville Supervisor of Fine Arts Chad Wyman shared, “Our indoor color guard program has grown so much under the leadership of Ms. Smith and her team. This championship is proof of that. These performers have worked so hard to achieve this and have created something that future groups will look to aspire to.” Ms. Smith was assisted by Carolyn Pinto and Marietta Pirisi.

Woodland crowns “The Smart Cookie” as winner A schoolwide Tournament of Books event at Hicksville’s Woodland Elementary recently ended with Jory John and Pete Oswald’s “The Smart Cookie” narrowly edging out Diane Alber’s “I’m Not Just a Scribble.” Beginning in mid-March, two books were read to every class and at the end of the week, students voted on their favorite. The Tournament of Books took place during a four-week period and other titles read in the contest included “Strega Nona,” “Diary of a Worm” and “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!” “It was really great to build readers as a school community and get excited about books together,” said librarian Christina Pietras. “The bulletin board display of the tournament helped keep the enthusiasm up!”
