The East Islip SchoolBusiness Partnership held its inaugural STEAM Day in the district’s Early Childhood Center on April 8, attended by hundreds of second and fourth grade students and facilitated by middle and high school students.

“STEAM Day was designed to give second and fourth grade students an experience that facilitated an interest into the study and possible careers in science, technology, engineering, art and

mathematics,” SchoolBusiness Partnership Coordinator Bridgette Lopiccolo said.

Students attended the event with their classroom teachers and explored robotics, played with art and technology manipulatives, tried their hands at building towers, learned about refraction through photography, watched a drone fly through the ECC, and so much more.

East Islip School-Business Partnership Holds Inaugural STEAM Day

Zoe Elder assisted with the event as a facilitator.

“It’s important that the students attend this kind of event,” Elder said. “I got into STEAM because of an event like this when I was younger.”

After the students explored the available stations, they gathered to watch two short STEAM videos. There was also a main event, a robotics contest between two teams for all to witness and to pique the interests of the students even further.

The Islip School District held its annual ENL Family Cultural Night on March 24, celebrating the district’s ENL students and its vibrant multicultural community. The event began with students and their families gathering in the Islip High School auditorium.

“I’m happy to be part of a community that embraces our diversity, is inclusive, values the contributions and insights of all families, and I’m happy to say, is getting better each and every day,” Superintendent Dr. Dennis O’Hara said in his welcoming address.

Senior Anthony Lopez, the Class of 2022’s salutatorian, also spoke, telling the inspiring story of how diligent reading greatly enhanced his English language skills.

In one of the evening’s highlights, the exceptional achievements of one English language learner from each of the district’s schools were recognized.

This year’s honorees were Muhammad Mahmud of

The Differences Between Weather Warnings And Watches

FREE

the level of threat a notice carries can help people take appropriate action and avoid serious consequences.

The NWS uses a fourtier system to alert the public of hazards. Here’s a closer look at what each tier constitutes.

weather may approach in the next three to seven days. The public should monitor the situation and stay tuned for further updates.

Advisory With an advisory, weather conditions are not overly serious but could prove inconvenient.

Outlook This is the least serious Individuals should be weather alert. It usually cautious and prudent means that hazardous when preparing supplies

or traveling.

Watch During a weather watch, there is an increased risk of a hazardous weather occurrence, though the timing or location is still uncertain. This is when it is essential to practice an evacuation or preparedness plan and stock up on any lastminute supplies.

Warning The most serious of the weather impact notifications, a warning constitutes an imminent or likely event. The weather may cause a threat to property or life.

Immediate action to stay safe is necessary.

While these alerts are based on the severity of impending weather, it is important to note that the NWS will not necessarily

follow the same timeline with issuing alerts.

That depends on how fast a weather situation develops. If there is time, an advisory, then a watch and then a warning may be issued. However, if a storm moves in rapidly, only a warning may be issued.

People always should pay attention to weather notices so they can be prepared should severe weather be in the forecast.

Weather is hard to predict.

Meteorologists have many tools at their disposal to help forecast storms and other phenomena, but it is impossible to predict the weather with 100 percent accuracy.

When the weather takes a turn for the worse, the National Weather Service may issue certain notices to prepare the public.

LONG ISLAND MEDIA GROUP

East Islip Public Library

PSEG Long Island’s vice president of Transmission and Distribution Operations. “Though they’re festive, fun and look nice, we want the public to be aware that metallic balloons also conduct electricity. If they get loose and come into contact with a power line or other electrical equipment, that could lead to power outages,

fire and, possibly, injuries.”

To mitigate these risks, PSEG Long Island encourages the public to follow these safety guidelines: • Metallic balloons and other decorations should be kept clear of overhead power lines and equipment, and never purposely released into the air.

• All balloons with helium

should be secured to weights that prevent them from floating away.

• To properly dispose of a Mylar balloon, safely puncture it in several places to release the helium, and discard it in the trash.

• NEVER touch a power line. Do not attempt to retrieve a balloon, toy or anything caught in an overhead

Mock Trial Team Finishes In Top Four In County Tournament East Islip High School competed in the annual Suffolk County Bar Association Mock Trial Tournament from Feb. 2 through March 23, finishing in the top four out of 30 schools.

The case was a criminal matter involving securities fraud. Students met with social studies teacher and mock trial coach Patsy Lester several days a week after school as well as Saturday

mornings to prepare for the tournament. They also received professional coaching from attorney Brian Mitchell, who has been working with the team alongside Lester for 22 years. The team took turns as both prosecution and defense, going undefeated against St. Anthony’s, Deer Park, Sachem, Newfield, St. John’s and John Glenn before falling to Huntington by one point in the county semifinals.

The semifinal round was argued in District Court before Judge Eric Sachs, who commended East Islip’s mastery of the case and their professionalism in the courtroom.

“I’m so proud of the way this team bonded and worked together through a very tough competition,” Lester said. “They inspire me with their dedication and team spirit.”

In 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory to highlight the urgent need to address the mental health crisis among youth. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, up to 1 in 5 children ages 3 to 17 years old experienced mental health challenges.

In an effort to address this public health concern and spark conversations about mental health among high schoolers, the National Institutes of Health invites students ages 16 to 18 years old to participate in the “2022 Speaking Up About Mental Health!” essay contest.

Essays should explore ways that individuals or society can address or eliminate mental health stigma that young people may face when seeking mental health treatment.
