Did You Know?
A massage may be seen as the ideal way to unwind at the end of a long week. According to the Mayo Clinic, massage is a component of integrative medicine that is increasingly being offered along with standard treatments for a host of medical conditions and situations. Massage has long been associated with helping to reduce stress, pain, muscle soreness, and tension. And massage also can help improve circulation and lower heart rate and blood pressure. However, various studies also have suggested massage can be utilized to treat a range of additional conditions, including anxiety, headaches, fibromyalgia, and nerve pain. The Mayo Clinic notes that more study is needed to confirm the benefits of massage for treating such conditions, but massage can remain a beneficial component of wellness regimens.

Black Tea Drinkers
A small study from researchers at University College London found that black tea drinkers had significantly lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol than non-tea drinkers within 50 minutes of experiencing a stress-inducing event. The study also found that black tea drinkers expressed themselves in a more relaxed way than non-tea drinkers within 50 minutes of a stressful experience.

Lindenhurst Junior Mayor Creates Project To Help Spread Kindness
Lindenhurst Junior Mayor Kennedy Pugh (pictured here) came to the Village Board with a proposal to help get her community to spread more kindness. Her idea was to create a “Kindness
– people could spin a color wheel and receive a color-coded “random act of kindness” task to perform. The Village Board thought this was a fantastic idea, and in cooperation and coordination with the
Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce, Kennedy set up her Kindness Wheel at the August “Wednesdays on Wellwood” street fair. At the event, over 300 people spun her Kindness Wheel, creating a positive
effect in the Lindenhurst community and beyond.
Deputy Mayor RJ Renna said, “I spun the Kindness Wheel and had to say hello to a stranger. It was a lot of fun to do, and I hope everyone else enjoyed spreading their kindness as well. I was so impressed by Kennedy’s creativity and drive in coming up with this idea and seeing it through to fruition. Small actions can create a large impact.”
The Village created the Junior Mayors program in 2023, in partnership with the Lindenhurst School District, as part of its Centennial celebration. It was such a great success, the Village decided to continue the program, to annually recognize and nurture our young leaders of tomorrow!
Music Courses
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.
The Wonders And Importance Of Bees In Feeding The World
By Deb Colton
Beekeeping helps many communities around the world by providing income, supports agriculture and improves food security.
Honey can be used as a natural preservative due to its antibacterial properties and has been used to preserve fruits and other foods for centuries;
Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible; Bees are essential for growing many of our foods. They pollinate about 1/3 of the food we eat including fruits, vegetables, and nuts; Honey bees are the only insects that produce food eaten by humans. They are unique and their production of honey has been a staple in human diets for thousands of years;
Honey can improve sleep. A spoonful of honey before bed can promote relaxation and better sleep by raising insulin slightly and allowing tryptophan to enter the brain; Honey has natural healing properties and different medicinal uses in various cultures. It can help soothe sore throats, speed up the healing of wounds and burns due to its antibacterial qualities and is used to treat digestive issues; Honey can help your brain. It contains antioxidants that may support brain health and improve memory; Honey can help with seasonal allergies. Consuming local honey is believed by some to help build immunity to local pollen and reduce allergy symptoms; Bees produce a tiny amount of honey in their lifetime. A single worker bee produces about 1/12
of a teaspoon of honey in their entire life, but together they are a powerful force and need protection; There are over 300 types of honey in the United States. The flavor, color and aroma depend on the flowers that bees visit;
Beeswax is used in many everyday products. It is found in things like candles, lip, balm and even some types of food packaging;
Beyond all of that, here are some fascinating factoids about bees – they are colorblind to red. Bees can see ultraviolet light which humans cannot, but they cannot see the color red. Bees have a built-in GPS that uses the position of the Sun, the Earth’s magnetic field, and their own memories of landmarks to navigate and find their way back to the hive. Bees are known to communicate through dancing. They perform
a “wiggle dance” to tell other bees where to find the best flowers. Bees can even recognize and remember human faces, much like they remember flowers.
Bees are critically important in food production around the world.
5 Smart Ways To Prep For Back-To-School Without The Stress
Whether the new school year means your kids will be heading back to the classroom, learning remotely, or a mix of both, back-to-school will most likely be stressful. Thinking ahead can help prepare everyone for a new way of learning, and simplify the transition from the slow ease of summertime to the bustle of the school year. Follow these tips so that everyone is ready when the first bell rings.
1. Resume the Routine. Summertime schedules are often lax, but a more structured routine is important during the school year. At least a week before classes start, reestablish set bedtimes and mealtimes to ease everyone back into school year habits. Even if children are remote-learning this fall, keep first day of school traditions alive with their favorite
breakfast, pictures and a first day of school outfit.
2. Simplify Shopping. Create a checklist of items you’ll need to buy, as well as plan out where you’ll make purchases. Check school dress codes and required supply lists before you head out, so you don’t have to make multiple trips. In addition to the usual supplies, stock up on extra face masks, personal tissues and hand sanitizer. If your child will be learning virtually, you may want to consider adding items to the list like extra USB chargers and ports, noisecancelling headphones – to help older siblings concentrate – and even blue light filtering glasses for kids that will be in front of a computer or tablet more than usual.
3. Set Up a Homework Station. A dedicated
space to store supplies and paperwork is key to staying organized. Let kids take pride in this space so they want to spend time studying there by having them create their own accessories and decorating them to their liking. Duck Tape provides an easy, inexpensive way to add flair to school gear. Cover notebooks and folders in a favorite Duck Tape design, customize desk organizers and décor with cool ontrend colors, or craft one-of-a-kind creations, like pencil pouches and tablet covers. Available in more than 250 colors, designs and licenses, there’s a roll to suit any kid’s style.
4. Stick to the Schedule. Once the hustle and bustle of the school year kicks into high gear, it’s important that students, parents
and teachers stay on track. Find a unique way to display activities, homework or personal messages to your kids like a “quote of the day.” You can use colored tape and chalkboard tape to outline a fun activity chart on a dry erase board or chalkboard easel. In addition to todo lists and homework assignments, make sure to include outdoor time for recess and opportunities for arts and crafts. At the end of each day, sit together to check off everything that’s been completed and help your kids update the schedule for the next day – this way they stay engaged and excited for what’s to come.
5. Label Supplies. Kids are forgetful and it’s easy for supplies to become misplaced or swapped with other children. To ease your mind about
your child sharing pencils or accidentally grabbing the wrong backpack, have a night where you sit down and label supplies with colorful Duck Tape. Your child can select favorite colors and customize folders for each subject. If learning from home, this is also
great way to prevent “he stole my pencil” arguments amongst siblings. For more back-toschool craft projects and DIY inspiration, visit duckbrand.com. Simple preparations can help your family adjust to a new schedule and new school year. (StatePoint)

Daniel Street Elementary School Welcomes New Principal
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is proud to name Dr. Jennifer Deuidicibus as Principal of Daniel Street Elementary School. She was previously Assistant Principal at Lindenhurst Middle School.
Dr. Deuidicibus has spent her entire 21-year career in education in Lindenhurst schools. She looks forward to maintaining the important support structure that guides students from kindergarten to middle school. “I am delighted to be welcomed to the Daniel Street Elementary family as the new building principal,” she said. “Serving the Lindenhurst community for the past 21 years in various roles has given me the experience necessary to lead the wonderful students and staff to reach their fullest potential.”
Dr. Deuidicibus began her career as a school psychologist at Lindenhurst
Middle School in 2002. In 2015, she became the District Secondary CSE Chairperson, and in 2017, she became Assistant Principal at Lindenhurst Middle School.
“As I move into this new role, I am confident that
Daniel Street students will continue to embark on new learning opportunities that will prepare them for their secondary years and create meaningful, lasting memories along their journey,” Dr. Deuidicibus said.
Lindenhurst Middle School Welcomes New Principal
The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is proud to name Marcy Miller as the Principal of Lindenhurst Middle School. She replaces Frank Naccarato, who retired. Miller previously served as Principal of Albany Avenue Elementary School.
Miller aims to continue partnerships with Lindenhurst High School and maintain a nurturing environment for students as they navigate the transitional years from elementary school to high school. “Middle school is such an important period because not only are our students physically growing and changing, but they are also actively taking in so much both in and out of school,” Miller said. “What is pivotal as middle school educators is that we meet them where they are, acknowledging that they are still kids in
many ways while providing opportunities for learning that extend, at times, beyond academics.”
Miller began her career in education as a classroom teacher at P.S. 232 in Howard Beach in 1991, but she has spent the majority of her career in the Lindenhurst School District. In
2002, she worked as a secondary reading teacher at Lindenhurst Middle School before becoming an elementary reading specialist and administrative intern at William Rall Elementary School. In 2014, Miller returned to the Middle School to become Interim Dean of Discipline and then Assistant Principal in 2015. In 2016, Miller took the reins of Albany Avenue Elementary School as Principal.
“I’m so excited to lead the Middle School; it’s almost like coming home for me,” she said. “Working in lockstep with our new High School Principal and my amazing team here, I plan to make the Lindenhurst Middle School experience a positive, caring, and supportive one for our students, enabling a seamless transition to high school.”

Small business owners no doubt recognize the value of repeat customers, but few may recognize just how valuable such customers can be to their bottom lines. A study from researchers at Harvard Business School found that a customer’s eighth purchase was an average of 80 percent higher than his or her first purchase. In addition, a survey from the strategic planning, marketing and sales consultants Altfeld, Inc. found that the probability of selling to an existing customer is between 60 and 70 percent, while that probability shrinks to as low as 5 percent for new customers. Customer retention strategies like offering superior customer service and seeking input from customers can help small businesses generate more repeat customers, which can greatly improve their chances for long-term success.
Keep Summer Days Fun And Busy When Camp Ends
Many adults have fond memories of attending summer camp when they were children. The American Camp Association reports that each year more than 14 million children and adults take advantage of the camp experience. Summer camp is a place for kids to learn new skills, make new friends, experience being away from home for extended periods of time, and explore new locales. Summer camp program lengths vary. Some children attend local camps that may last a week or two, while others attend sleep-away camps that last a little longer. Since summer vacation typically lasts between eight to 10 weeks, parents may discover there still is plenty of downtime after summer camp ends. Here are some ways to fill the gap between the end of camp and the start of a new school year.
Schedule a vacation
What better way to keep the magic of summer going than by rolling summer camp right into a family vacation?
Give kids time to enjoy a few days to relax at home, but then buckle up for the next adventure. This can be a trip away from home, or a series of day trips or activities guided by all members of the family.
Organize a sleepover exchange
Parents of school-aged children can coordinate with one another to fill up a week or more with sleepovers. Each family can take a night or two, and the kids can jump from house to house extending the fun with one another. Sleepovers can occur inside the home or under tents in the yard.
Recreate favorite camp activities at home
Why not take what makes camp entertaining and try
it at home? Copy the camp’s itinerary and engage in similar activities, such as canoeing or nature hikes. On nights when the weather cooperates, everyone can gather around a fire pit to roast marshmallows.
Enroll in a recreational program
Some towns offer free or low-fee activities to residents through their parks and recreation departments. If budgeting does not allow for a camp experience, there are likely town-wide activities that can fill the gaps until it’s time for children to go back to school. Some even may offer after-hours childcare options for parents who have scheduling conflicts with work.
When summer camp ends, parents have different options they can explore to keep children engaged and supervised until a new school year begins.
