Hi!

MY NAME IS

Kindergartners got an introduction to the engineering design process at Fairfield Elementary School in the Massapequa School District. Under the direction of magnet and STEAM teacher Jennifer Tand, students used provided materials such as cotton balls, paper clips,

rubber bands, bottle caps, straws and more to make their first names.

The STEAM challenge was the first of many that they will complete in their elementary school years, which allow students to explore science, technology, engineering, the arts and math.

Children learned about the engineering design process, which emphasizes the importance of planning.

The kindergartners first had to sketch out their projects and identify which materials would be used for each letter.

Writing What’s Real Reading, researching and writing are the steps third-graders are following as they work on their nonfiction writing in Danielle McCaffery’s classroom at Fairfield Elementary School in the Massapequa School District. Students are writing books about animals.

Students began by exploring several books to

look at different writing styles and identify the key elements of nonfiction stories. Each child then picked a topic, with monkeys, sharks, penguins and tigers among the animals chosen. They completed their research using books and online resources on their Chromebooks.

The writing process will take several weeks

Exploring Engineering

as students will create multiple drafts.

They will review their work through peer editing and in conferences with Ms. McCaffery. Each book must have at least six unique sections, along with a cover page and table of contents. When the works are completed, the class will hold a writing celebration.

Bringing Lit to Life Technology enhanced a literature lesson for eighthgraders at Berner Middle School in the Massapequa School District, as they recreated scenes from the courtroom drama “12 Angry Men.” The project was coordinated by English teacher Robert Joyce and technology learning coach Danielle Mammolito.

Classroom desks were put together to create a long table in front of a green wall and beside a green curtain.

Students sat around the table playing different members of the jury and acted out scenes from the story that serve as the major plot points.

After recording on iPhones, students were able to edit the video

on their Chromebooks and use green-screen technology to superimpose the background of the jury room. Each finished video was about 10 minutes long.

Mr. Joyce explained that the assignment provided students with an engaging way to better understand the book and learn about the characters.

Aspiring Teachers

Massapequa High School students who want to share their love of language with others have a place to go with the creation of the after-school Educators Rising club. The group is for students who are interested in a career teaching world languages.

William Anderson, the curriculum associate for world languages and ENL, said the club was created to help address a national shortage of foreign language educators.

During meetings,

participants discuss strategies used by highly effective teachers and ways to connect effectively with language learners.

The students also discuss how they have transferred their foreign language skills from the classroom to real-world situations.

Massapequa offers American Sign Language, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.

Junior Mikaela Ellis, who as been taking Spanish since seventh grade, said

she is considering a career teaching the language because she is interested in the exploration of other cultures. She is learning what she can do to excel as a Spanish teacher.

“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, and I’ve always been interested in the Spanish language,” she said. “It’s important in this day and age to be able to communicate with other people because not everyone speaks English.”

February Charity of the Month:

HOPE CHILDREN’S FUND

“I believe all things happen for a reason” Kevin Mann, Vice President of Hope Children’s Fund, said to me as we sat down to talk more in-depth about this international non-profit. It was not by coincidence that he and his wife crossed paths with Lawrence Hohler, retired Smithtown East HS teacher, and Joseph Kirima, primary school teacher in Kenya, to learn about what those two educators came together in hopes to form: a Kenyan orphanage.

Hope Children’s Fund operates with the motto “Education Is Key” and for children in Kenya, this couldn’t be more true. Without an education and the ability to speak English, these children often lack the opportunity to rise above fetching water and cutting wood. Mann explained, “The government in Kenya doesn’t have the resources to take care of the children in their country like the United States government does.” It is not shocking to see a very young child in Kenya hopelessly wandering the streets without family, hungry and just trying to survive. Hope Children’s Fund does something about this problem.

In 2001, Hope Children’s Fund registered as a nonprofit and raised $40,000 through donations – precisely enough money to begin construction on an orphanage that stands high up on a hill in Meru, Kenya. By 2005, the orphanage opened and began transforming lives for children, many of whom had lost their parents in the AIDS epidemic. This orphanage, Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children’s Fund Home, has a dining hall and a dormitory for boys and girls. It provides the children with shelter, steady meals and the opportunity to attend school. The children are shown family values and given chores to complete in order for them to gain life skills.

They currently house 100 children and have had many success stories. One of their favorites is of a young lady named Betty Gakii who entered their orphanage when she was little, did well and became a teacher, later got married and had children of her own, and now is the Administrative Assistant at this same orphanage!

Kevin feels that he and his wife have received and learned much more from the orphans than they’ve given and taught them. With that being said, if you would like to help change the lives of orphans in Kenya, you can!

There are 22 orphans who still need to be sponsored through Hope Children’s Fund’s sponsorship program - $1/day or $365/year will help send these children to school so they have a better chance to succeed. You can visit their website at www.HopeChildrensFund.org or contact Kevin Mann at KevinMannMail@gmail. com to learn more and view photos of these children. Upon sponsoring a child, you will receive a photo and bio of them, and you can write letters/send e-mails directly to the child to provide them with hopeful messages to brighten their days.

Kevin and his wife often travel to Meru to visit the orphanage and welcome sponsors to travel along to meet firsthand the child they sponsor.

Another way you can become involved is by hosting a craft fair to sell Kenyan crafts made by the Meru Women’s Collective. You will be provided with the goods, and all the profits generated will go back to the children at the orphanage. Contact Kevin Mann for more information.

Lastly, Hope Children’s Fund will host their first gala at East Wind in Wading River on February 18th. Tickets are $200, and all are welcome to attend to support this charity and learn more about what they do! Contact Kevin Mann to purchase your tickets now and be a part of something that truly matters.

Images from the Chris Van Allsburg book, “The Mysteries of Harris Burdick,” inspired a collaborative writing project at Birch Lane Elementary School in the Massapequa School District.

Fourth-graders, under the direction of library media specialist Jacqueline Lee, worked in pairs on their writing assignments.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Whether Buying Or Selling, Call Today For Instant Results.

Each pair had to select one of 14 images, which only contained a title and a single-line caption. They had to create a story based upon the image that would be one to two minutes long when read aloud.

James Badagliacca and Anthony Pedalino selected the photo, “The Seven Chairs,” which only included a caption about one chair ending up in

France. They decided to write a story about the whereabouts of the other six chairs.

Students worked on their Chromebooks and used Google Docs to collaborate. After their stories are written, each pair will film it with the use of a teleprompter and green screen, and edit using WeVideo.

Poets’ Corner Presented by South Bay’s Neighbor Newspapers

Where Truth Lies By: John McGowan

Amidst fake news and alternative facts I wonder where truth abides So much information and chatter forthcoming from both sides It seems to me it lies beneath the spinning that I hear So unlike a setting sun so simple and so clear Somehow I hope this fog will lift And we’ll witness what is real Until that time let’s stay the course Awaiting what truth will reveal.

with Jamie Lynn Ryan

Leaving a (Paw) Print I recently received an e-mail for an event listing from a teacher at my old high school, which sparked a conversation about how many years it’s been since I roamed those very hallways myself {approaching 18, nearly half of my lifetime} and how it might be nice to stop by to say hello to the relatively few teachers who remain there after all this time.

Which got me to thinking… there was a time when my fellow alumni and I couldn’t wait to “visit” after we graduated, popping in every few months or so to see what was new and exciting in the world of Lindy High. As the years passed, college came and went, and we found ourselves employed in our various fields of study, these encounters became few and far between.

We no longer related to those teenagers who breezed by on their way to class, nor did we

see high school as the center of the only universe we had ever inhabited.

We now had the world before us, one that included days not marked by a bell schedule, job descriptions not dictated by a syllabus. Sure, there was the occasional visit to the old college campus now; perhaps a special “guest” speaking engagement to a group of soon-to-be grads about to embark on their own adventures into the great world of career exploration.

But that was where the academic connection ceased.

Fast forward nearly two decades past these formative years, and the nostalgia for simpler times has returned.

Having the opportunity to reconnect with those friends and former classmates has taken on added significance as the years have passed.

Several have left us far too soon; others’ lives have taken

them to the far reaches of the country, making the advent of social media a welcome - and perhaps the only - connection.

But among the hundreds that we graduated with, there are also the dozens who still reside right here on Long Island, instantly reachable and available to reminisce at any time. It’s a comforting thought, that ability to pick up where you left off at a given point, to chat about old times and new pursuits, and to realize - with rare exception - that we are all dealing with the same daily struggle to find that sense of fulfillment that was promised to us all those years ago.

Perhaps a visit to the old high school stomping grounds is in order; a “refresher course,” if you will, courtesy of the very place where it all began. As they like to say in Lindy… once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog…

Wind Study

Student of the Quarter

Anthony Kariamis from the Massapequa UFSD was named Student of the Quarter at Nassau BOCES Barry Tech career and technical education high school. He was honored for his grades, attendance, work ethic and preparedness. Students of the Quarter have taken the initiative on class projects and are role models for their fellow students, in both the classroom and the workplace.

Kindergartners in the Massapequa School District learn about the weather as part of the science curriculum, and youngsters at East Lake Elementary School recently explored wind.

Magnet and STEAM teacher Lisa Gennardo led students in an activity in which they could discover the effects of

7

Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953!

the wind on different objects.

She set up a fan in her classroom and had children place different items in front including a ball, a plastic cup, feathers, a balloon, a rubber duck and a book. The children made predictions for each object on whether they thought the fan would blow it away. They watched as a book

that was standing up was blown over, but didn’t move at all when laid down flat.

As a follow-up activity, the students had to make a shield to protect a plastic cup from the wind, using a plate, Popsicle sticks, tape and pipe cleaners, while following the engineering design process.

FOR COMMUNIONS, CONFIRMATIONS, BIRTHDAYS, SHOWERS, ANNIVERSARIES, AND ALL SPECIAL OCCASIONS (UP TO 50 PEOPLE)

Through mystery and intrigue, students at Birch Lane Elementary School in the Massapequa School District improved their reading comprehension skills. Third- and fifthgraders took part in a weeklong Submerge Storytelling program, in which a classroom was transformed into the setting of a story.

The fictional story of Trevor Cool, a middleschool student who breaks codes for the CIA, came to life during this

interactive experience.

Facilitator Cory Levine filled the rooms with maps, messages, illustrations, toys and other props that served as clues, and students went around with clipboards to gather evidence and record their findings. They also had to search for hidden keys and crack secret codes.

As the story unfolded and students continued their search for the missing Trevor, Mr. Levine posed questions to get them thinking about

Bringing Lit to Life

how the developments connected to the items in the room. The experience taught them about the different elements of a story such as character development, plot and conflict. It also showed them the importance of using evidence to back up their arguments.

Fifth-grade teacher Susan Murphy said that the students developed skills and strategies “in an engaging and fun way” that will help them in reading and writing.

Technology enhanced a literature lesson for eighthgraders at Berner Middle School in the Massapequa School District, as they recreated scenes from the courtroom drama “12 Angry Men.” The project was coordinated by English teacher Robert Joyce and technology learning coach Danielle Mammolito.

Classroom desks were put together to create a long table in front of a green wall and beside a green curtain.

Students sat around the table playing different members of the jury and acted out scenes from the story that serve as the major plot points.

After recording on iPhones, students were able to edit the video

on their Chromebooks and use green-screen technology to superimpose the background of the jury room. Each finished video was about 10 minutes long.

Mr. Joyce explained that the assignment provided students with an engaging way to better understand the book and learn about the characters.

Three students from Berner Middle School in the Massapequa School District were named as finalists in the Nassau Region PTA Reflections contest.

Eighth-grader Erin Tumminello and sixthgrader James Castoria

were recognized for their literary pieces. Erin wrote a fictional story about a leopard trying to escape from the circus and James recounted a summer fishing excursion. Sixthgrader Brooke Mollica was awarded for her photography entry for a

Take Heart With Tea An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recent study found drinking tea might keep the cardiologist at bay.

The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad

cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent.

Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the

risk of coronary heart disease.

Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to

be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease.

That news may be especially important

for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.

Pet Food Drive Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson announced that the Town of Oyster Bay will participate in Long Island Cares’ 7th annual Legislative Pet Food Drive Challenge. The drive will take place during the months of February and March and focus on collecting for the family members most vulnerable to hunger, residents’ pets.

Long Island Cares formed Baxter’s Pet Pantry Pets in 2009 to assist in feeding dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, caged pets, fish, reptiles and all others considered family members.

The creation of Baxter’s

338466N0207

631.499.7100 • libi.edu

Pet Pantry by Long Island Cares has helped distribute over one million pounds of pet food, all of which has been donated through pet food drives like this one and corporate donations.

The pet food drive in the Town of Oyster Bay will be held from Thursday, February 1st through Friday, March 30th. Those interested in supporting the pet food drive can place donated items in drop off boxes located in the following Town of Oyster Bay locations: • Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter – 150 Miller Place – Syosset • Town Hall North – 54

Audrey Avenue - Oyster Bay • Town Hall South – 977 Hicksville Road – Massapequa • Hicksville Athletic Center – 167 S. Broadway - Hicksville • Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center – 1001 Stewart Avenue - Bethpage Regular business hours for the Town locations are 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. For more information about the program residents may visit www.licares.org or call Esther Alter in the Town’s Public Information Office at 516.624.6380.

Strong Financial Outlook On January 25th, 2018, both the Office of the New York State Comptroller and Moody’s Investors Service reported a strong financial outlook for Massapequa Public Schools.

The OSC released its annual Fiscal Stress Monitoring report, and for the three years measured, the district received a perfect score on all indicators. The system has two main components: financial and environmental. According to the comptroller’s office, fiscal indicators measure key drivers of fiscal stress such as year-end fund balances, operating deficits/surpluses, cash position and reliance on short-term cash flow debt.

Environmental indicators within the district’s

control include budget vote approval rate, teacher turnover rate, and class size.

Massapequa Public Schools is one of only three districts on Long Island to receive a perfect score in all areas.

Additionally, Moody’s Investors Service reaffirmed the district’s excellent Aa1 credit rating, which next to the highest credit rating available and higher than the U.S. school median of Aa3.

According to Moody’s, a key credit factor includes a very strong financial position, an exceptionally light debt burden and the community’s strong wealth and income profile.

Of particular note, Moody’s praised the district by indicating “the

district benefits from a strong management team, which has a track record of conservative budgeting and financial practices.”

Moreover, Moody’s cited that the districts fund balance as a percent of operating revenues is on par with other Moody’srated school districts nationwide.

“The Board of Education and administration have been diligent in their joint efforts to be fiscally responsible,” noted Superintendent of Schools Lucille F. Iconis. Added Deputy Superintendent Alan Adcock, “We take great pride in our financial stability and will continue to work to ensure that Massapequa remains a fiscally sound district.”

Spring Enrichment Workshops

PENGUIN STORIES - Kathy Landman, a kindergarten teacher at Fairfield Elementary School in the Massapequa School District, was joined by her students with their penguin glyphs. The children learned how to tell stories through images, with the hats, scarves, eyes, feet and shape of their penguins representing the answers to different questions. The color of the hats told each child’s favorite season, while the pattern of each scarf identified if he or she has ever gone sledding. Photo courtesy of: Massapequa School District

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Joseph Muscarella announced today the Department of Community and Youth Services, Cultural and Performing Arts Division (CAPA) are offering exciting enrichment workshops for the spring 2018 season, and registration for all applications is open from now until Friday, February 23rd.

“Whether you are an emerging artist looking to sharpen your skills, a homeowner looking to add a finishing touch to a room, or a resident looking for a new hobby, consider registering for

these wonderful Workshop Enrichment Programs,” Supervisor Saladino said.

“These workshops offer residents the opportunity to develop a new skill while having fun in the process.”

All of the courses will be held at the SyossetWoodbury Community Center, 7800 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury.

Workshops include such topics as interior decorating classes, Zumba, summertime jewelry making, drawing fundamentals, oils & acrylics and watercolor.

Councilman Muscarella added, “The Town is proud to offer a variety of enrichment classes

for your enjoyment.

Residents can learn about home improvements like bathroom makeovers or window treatments and aspiring artists can learn about drawing and painting.

These workshops are a wonderful opportunity to broaden your horizons.”

To obtain a spring Workshop Enrichment Program brochure or to obtain additional information on registration, please visit the Town of Oyster Bay’s website, www. oysterbaytown.com or call 516.797.7900.

Massapequa High School students who want to share their love of language with others have a place to go with the creation of the after-school Educators Rising club. The group is for students who are interested in a career teaching world languages.

William Anderson, the curriculum associate for world languages and ENL, said the club was created to help address a national shortage of foreign language educators.

During meetings,

participants discuss strategies used by highly effective teachers and ways to connect effectively with language learners.

The students also discuss how they have transferred their foreign language skills from the classroom to real-world situations.

Massapequa offers American Sign Language, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.

Junior Mikaela Ellis, who as been taking Spanish since seventh grade, said

she is considering a career teaching the language because she is interested in the exploration of other cultures. She is learning what she can do to excel as a Spanish teacher.

“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, and I’ve always been interested in the Spanish language,” she said. “It’s important in this day and age to be able to communicate with other people because not everyone speaks English.”

Call for Boxers Long Island Fight for Charity, the nation’s only all-volunteer charity fund raising event and program is now conducting its search for 2018 volunteer charity boxers. Since 2003, over 300 men and women have earned the title of LIFFC Alumni Boxer. If you ever wanted to do something different and challenge yourself this is the year to make the commitment.

The LIFFC 15th Main Event to be held on Monday, November 19th, 2018 will feature 10 or more bouts between volunteer

charity boxers who have demonstrated their personal commitment to raising a minimum of $10,000 for the Fight for Charity organization’s fund, raising goals that benefit local charities, intensive physical training and participation in promotional activities and media interviews. Over $1 million has been donated to Long Island charities since LIFFC’s founding.

Applications are now being accepted for volunteer charity boxers who will enter training to prepare them to step in

the ring at the 15th Main Event. Boxing experience is not required. What is required is a commitment to fundraising, “character,” a willingness to train and be ready to meet a business colleague toeto-toe in the ring in front of a thousand fans. This is a rare opportunity for individuals to make a personal commitment of time, talent and to truly “give back.” Hundreds of men, women and children here on Long Island dealing with life’s struggles will be the benefactors.

Since 2003, LIFFC has

distributed funds each year to Long Island charities including: Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School, National Foundation for Human Potential (FREE) and other local charities.

“Men and women from the Long Island business community who want to ‘give back’ to the community in a meaningful way will want to consider volunteering to be a charity boxer.

Every year since Fight for Charity was founded we have been fortunate to have the boxers, sponsors

and volunteers that have contributed to the overall success of the mission to support local charities,” said Fight for Charity President, Jeff Cohen. “The fans are never disappointed when they see these men and women perform in the ring like true champions for charity. Now is the time for this year’s volunteers to step forward and start prepping for November’s Main Event.”

If you have roots in the Long Island business community, relish both physical and mental challenges and possess a

spirited drive to “give back” and improve the lives of fellow Long Islanders, you will want to visit www. lifightforcharity.org to learn more about how to participate in Fight for Charity.

To request an application to become a volunteer boxer email info@ lifightforcharity.org or call 877.240.7821.

Business Leaders Honored The students and educators of Nassau BOCES Barry Tech recently honored more than 100 local business leaders at the annual Industry Advisory Recognition Brunch. The event is an opportunity for Nassau BOCES Board members, administrators, faculty and staff to thank these invaluable mentors for their ongoing guidance

and support.

Barry Tech partners with more than 800 Long Island businesses, giving students the significant advantage of on-the-job work experience under the supervision of industry specialists. The school’s industry partners help students to develop the skills necessary to compete in the workplace.

In addition to providing

real-world experience, industry partners regularly visit classrooms to offer their expertise, and invite students to tour their facilities and learn about their respective businesses.

At the brunch, industry partners were honored by Nassau BOCES administrators, government officials and community leaders. They

were given a red carpet welcome by Barry Tech student ambassadors, and awarded with plaques and certificates thanking them for their contributions.

They were also given a comprehensive tour of the state-of-the-art Joseph M. Barry Career & Technical Education Center.

But the day’s most important business was
