East Islip High School’s National Honor Society recently organized its most successful annual food drive. With the participation of the school’s Class of 2025, the World Language Honor Society, Career Development and Occupational Studies students, Student Government, and clubs such as SADD, STARS, Interact Club, Key Club and Leaders Club, this became a true community event.

The entire district was divided into 49 geographic zones. Over 200 students volunteered and were placed in groups to distribute flyers to more than 8,000 households during Veterans Day weekend, making the community aware of the collection date of Nov. 15. That evening, the students went back to their assigned zones to collect any donations that the community left for donation.

According to the National Honor Society, this was its most successful year to date. A total of 152 turkeys and thousands of pounds of food were donated. Many members of the community came and dropped off donations as well. In a true example of EI Pride, local food pantries at the Church of St. Mary, the Church of St. Peter the Apostle and Full Gospel Assembly are now overflowing with the generosity of the East Islip community.

Celebrating First Responder Appreciation Day

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2023 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Connetquot Elementary School recently celebrated First Responder Appreciation Day. Students submitted photos of family members and friends who they wanted to honor on that day, and kindergarten

teacher Meagan Faughnan put together a slideshow that teachers played for their classes. Some classes also invited veteran visitors to the school, to allow students to acknowledge and appreciate their hard

work and dedication to keeping the community safe.

“My students loved welcoming some first responders into our class and recognizing their hard work,” Faughnan said.

The Girl Scouts Of Suffolk County’s Annual Holiday Light Show Is Back, Bigger And Brighter Than Ever

Event Will Include A Half-Mile Walk-Through Extravaganza Featuring Holiday -Themed Light Displays, Pictures With Santa Claus, And Delicious Snacks

camaraderie, Girl Scouts of Suffolk County have also arranged photos with Santa, picnics with s’mores, music, and games for visitors to enjoy. Along with being a favorite holiday attraction among families from throughout Long Island, the seasonal event serves as an essential fundraiser for Girl Scouts of Suffolk County to help expand the access girls throughout Suffolk County have to the empowering Girl Scout experience.

Early bird tickets go on sale October 1st.

“This year’s Holiday Light Show event promises to be more engaging and interactive than ever before,” said Tammy Severino, Girl Scouts of Suffolk County President and CEO. “Making the event a walk-through this year enables us to bring in more light displays and create a more personalized, magical holiday experience.

Alongside the mesmerizing light displays, families can

enjoy delightful activities, including photos with Santa Claus, festive snacks, games, and more. We are dedicated to creating a joyous atmosphere that fosters togetherness and creates cherished memories for everyone.”

This is the 20th anniversary of the annual Girl Scouts of Suffolk County Holiday Light Show, which had been previously located at Smith Point County Park as a drivethrough event since 2016, when it outgrew the site at Camp Edey in Bayport. Last year was the first year the Girl Scouts offered a walkthrough holiday village as part of the annual light show extravaganza, which received rave reviews and overwhelming demand to be brought back that Girl Scouts of Suffolk County expanded it by five times.

Each year, the event attracts more than 50,000 visitors from throughout Long Island, Queens, Westchester and even out of state.

This year, there will be 80 light displays ranging from 50 to 200 feet. The dazzling holiday light displays are assembled and

built in part by GSSC staff and dedicated volunteers from PSEG Long Island, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1049 and Local 25, and the Long Island Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association.

Proceeds from the Holiday Light Show and Enchanted Forest benefit girl leadership programs and provide financial assistance for girls to join Girl Scouts and attend our summer camp program. Last year, more than 40 Suffolk County Girls were able to attend Girl Scouts summer camp this year thanks to scholarships funded by the 2022 Holiday Light Show proceeds.

“The Girl Scouts of Suffolk County take great pride in putting together this event each year,” said Severino.

“It’s a unique program as it spreads holiday joy, but it also enables us to offer girls opportunities that can shape their futures in remarkable ways. Every ticket sold directly contributes to our mission of nurturing confident, capable, and compassionate leaders of tomorrow. We thank

everyone for their support and hope to see you at the Light Show this holiday season.”

The Girl Scout Holiday Light Show will run Thursdays through Sundays through Saturday, December 30th, excluding December 24th and 25th, from 5 pm to 9 pm. Regularpriced tickets to the show will be available online only.

It is important to note that this year’s tickets will have designated time slots instead of general admission.

Autism And Children 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018.

That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

External Diploma Program The National External Diploma Program offers adults 21 and over, the opportunity to receive credit for their life experiences, and earn a high school equivalency diploma without the challenge of taking lengthy timed examinations.

NEDP, is a competency based program for students who are unable to attend classes or who prefer to work at home. Successful

According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas.

Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function.

Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls.

Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of

candidates for NEDP include former ESL students, students who have been out of school for prolonged periods of time, or students who fare better without the structure of tests. This program is an alternative to other programs.

Anyone interested should call Western Suffolk BOCES to meet with a counselor.

Music courses can have a profound impact on students, potentially helping them perform better in other subjects. A recent study from the American Psychological Association found that high school students who take music courses score significantly better on exams in subjects like math and science than their nonmusical peers.

The improved academic performance was more pronounced among students who learned to play an instrument rather than vocal music. The researchers behind the study examined the records of more than 112,000 students in British Columbia.

Among the students whose records were studied, 13 percent had participated in at least

one music course in grade 10, 11 or 12. Researchers discovered that, on average, children who learned to play a musical instrument for many years and ultimately played in a high school band or orchestra were the equivalent of roughly one academic year ahead of their peers in regard to their English, mathematics and science skills.

well.

3. Label everything, so you will not need to dig through boxes or bins to know what is inside.

This might be a good year to ask for a label maker for the holidays!

4. Use overhead or wall storage for holiday decor.

Overhead spaces in the garage or basement walls can be good spaces to keep holiday decorations.

Always keep bins and boxes off the floor, so they are not vulnerable to damage related to leaks or floods.

5. Garment bags can protect larger decorations, such as wreaths, artificial trees, or signs. If you have a large number of mechanical, illuminated, or inflatable lawn ornaments, consider

investing in a small shed where these items can be safely kept.

Wrap the extension cords and any bracing stakes or strings used with the decorations so it’s easy to find.

6. Utilize pieces of cardboard as well as toilet paper or paper towel tubes to keep lights and wires tidy.

Tuck cords into the toilet paper tubes, and

wrap lights around the cardboard to avoid tangles.

7. Each year, take inventory of your decoration collection and toss out anything that is damaged or has seen better days.

Storing holiday decorations will take some time, but once you establish a system, things will be simple year after year.

Smoking not only causes cancer, but it

also damages nearly every part of the body, including the bones, reproductive organs, mouth, skin, eyes, and blood vessels. Quitting can help reverse the effects of years of smoking.

2. Limit alcohol intake. The phrase “everything in moderation” applies to alcohol consumption.

E x c e s s i v e consumption of alcohol can lead to liver and kidney damage.

When these organs are not functioning properly, they cannot filter toxins out of the body, resulting in potentially irreparable damage. Resolve to cut down on alcohol

consumption if you are drinking more than two drinks per day.

3. Address stress. It’s easy to underestimate the effects of stress on the mind and body. Left unchecked, stress can contribute to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, says the Mayo Clinic.

Resolving to reduce stress by adopting certain techniques can improve selfesteem and mood.
