Six students from Deer Park were selected for the Suffolk County Music Educators Association’s PEAK (Parents, Educators and Kids) Festival at Northport High School. These fourth-grade students attended a day of music activities with their parents. The intergenerational program allows students and parents to connect on an artistic level. Festival entry was highly competitive, but thanks to the outstanding talents of Deer Park’s young musicians and the leadership of teacher Catherine Lubrano, students and parents alike enjoyed this educational experience. The district congratulates fourthgraders Diya Chabra, Casey Fonescda, Arianna Lerch, Sandra Patino, Alisson Ponte and Kimberly Robles on being selected.

Little by little, things are beginning to get back on track. There are small signs throughout the neighborhood – a few lights on here and there, the glimmer of a Christmas tree through the window, the sound of Christmas songs filtering from the windows of passing cars… Tis’ the time of the season, as out of sorts as many of us may feel this particular holiday season. Life goes on, as we have seen. From storms and floods and uncontrollable acts of nature, to horrific tragedies from across the globe to our neighbors in Newtown, CT, as much as it seems that things
will never return to normal, somehow, they manage to progress to the point of at least being tolerable. The new normal, I suppose you could say, where we learn to make do while making adjustments on the fly. What is “normal” anyway? Personally, never before have I looked forward to a new year with quite the same level of anticipation.

refresh the spirit. For those displaced by Storm Sandy, the phrase “home for the holidays” doesn’t quite apply. But still, just being surrounded by those you love brings a certain degree of comfort that even the most dramatic upheaval can’t displace. Hopefully, within the next few months, the process of rebuilding what was lost will be further along the way to completion, and we can all settle back into our “normal” routines – only this time with a greater appreciation for what we have, mainly those things that cannot be replaced. Happy New Year to all… see you on the flip side.
