Attend UWC-USA

students aged 16 to 19 from diverse backgrounds to foster unity and create a peaceful world. Anna’s passion for other cultures and her curiosity about the world drew her to UWC. She is excited about the opportunity to meet and learn from people her age from around the globe, gaining new perspectives and immersing herself in different cultures.

Anna has been actively involved in promoting sustainability in her daily life by making ecoconscious choices such as walking to school and work, avoiding fast fashion, and following a vegan lifestyle. She believes in the importance of individual actions for a more sustainable future.

In addition to her commitment to sustainability, Anna has dedicated her time to

community service. She regularly volunteers with the Book Fairies, a nonprofit organization that distributes books to underserved schools and communities. Through her volunteering experience, she has witnessed the dedication of teachers and the impact they have on their students’ education.

Academically, Anna has excelled in her favorite subjects, English and history. Her passion for these subjects has driven her to explore literature and delve into the stories of historical figures. She values the importance of learning from the past and understanding different perspectives.

As a member of her school’s varsity tennis team, Anna learned the value of teamwork and collaboration. Playing

doubles tennis taught her patience, acceptance of imperfection, and the joy of relying on and supporting her partner.

Anna’s past creative writing teacher, Ms. Junjulas, has been a significant inspiration. Ms. Junjulas encourages creativity, embracing mistakes, and being open

to new ideas, aligning with the UWC mission.

In the future, Anna plans to pursue a college degree in environmental science, driven by her passion for sustainability and making a positive impact on the environment.

Painting, Performance And Much More At Massapequa Arts Camp

It may be summer vacation but a walk through Massapequa High School suggests otherwise. That’s because the Summer Fine Arts Camp is in full force, a five-week program offered in partnership with Nassau BOCES that features dozens of classes in visual art, music and theater.

Children as young as first grade to rising seniors are enrolled in classes that are taught by certified teachers, with support from high school and college assistants. Jessica Wyman, coordinator of the program, said that more than 330 students are enrolled in at least one

camp, with many signing up for multiple weeks.

In music, there are beginner and intermediate level band and orchestra classes, along with acoustic guitar, ukulele, songwriting and sound recording technology camps. New music classes included Ukulele Jam Band

and Irish Music on the Tin Whistle.

Eleni Diakoumakis, who is entering seventh grade, is attending the intermediate band class to get better on the trumpet, an instrument she has been playing for three years. She has enjoyed learning songs from different movies this summer, which has helped her increase her range.

“It’s a good way to spend my summer and I can practice my instrument so I’m not rusty for the school year,” she said.

Tim Hassell, a rising seventh grader, was recently given a guitar from his grandfather, so he is taking acoustic guitar. After each class, he goes home and practices what he learned.

“It’s a good way to learn the guitar,” he said. “You learn all of the chords, notes and how to strum.” He may be learning the guitar in the summer, but the song he most enjoyed

playing in class was “Jingle Bells.”

Ms. Wyman said there are 38 student assistants, who are working at least one camp this summer. They support the teachers by working one-on-one with students to reinforce the lessons and also help set up and clean up.

Noah Weber, a rising junior, is working in the Decorative Arts and Collage classes. It is his first year as a student assistant and said he developed a passion for the visual arts from his classes in school.

“I love working with the kids and helping them discover new interests within the art fields,” he said. “It’s very rewarding to see the kids grow as artists throughout the week.”

Senior Phoebe Elliott is working her third summer camp, and this year is assisting in Draw, Paint and Explore, More Draw, Paint and Explore, and 3D Sculpture classes.

“It gets very messy,” she said, “but that’s the fun.”

Phoebe added that because the courses are open to students from a wide range of grades, it is interesting to see their varying skill levels as well as the different creative processes.

In the Fiber Arts class, students created several projects under the direction of teacher Antoinette Kearney. They sewed and decorated custom tote bags and made tapestry weavings, among other projects. Ms. Kearney said the goal of the class is to give students a new experience in working with different materials and techniques.

“It’s very hands on and very experimental,” she said. “It’s different projects they normally wouldn’t have in their art classroom.”

Each camp ends with a performance or art show for families.

Town Partners With U.S. Marine Corps To Install Wheelchair Lift

“We were thrilled to once again host the Fourth Annual AFSP Blue Angel Car Show at Sunrise Mall.

“5 for 5 successful transactions thanks to this DREAM TEAM! In the past few years, Michele and Mark have helped my family buy and sell five properties and each time they make the process as smooth and easy as it gets. For the homes we sold, knowing the market inside and out, they suggested selling prices beyond our expectations and sure enough, they got them! We couldn’t be more satisfied with this knowledgeable and experienced team that consistently goes above and beyond.” ... KZ Maddox

Hiring Michele and Mark was the BEST DECISION we made in selling our home. Throughout the whole process they kept us informed on the selling of our home. We couldn’t have done it without them due to their Professionalism and Market Expertise. They listed and sold our home in Massapequa Park and because of their knowledge of the Market, they were able to get us $90K OVER ASKING. We would recommend Michele and Mark Goodman as your next sales team. ...
