We create a better environment for learning.

Mondays—Buy a combo meal and get a kid’s meal free*

Rooted in kindness and respect, the ethos of a Catholic school emerges from the fact that students know that God loves them and that they are precious in His eyes. That they are accepted for who they really are. Uniforms remove many of the surface-level distractions of social status and peer pressure, and children learn that their value is not based on how others see them but on God’s always faithful love for them.

Tuesdays—BOGO Blizzard** Wednesday—Buy a combo meal and get a free small sundae* Thursday—BOGO Shake/Frappé/MooLatté** *Combo meal doesn’t include 5 or 6 buck lunch meals **Equal or lesser value

Holy Family School is celebrating 57 years of Catholic academic excellence. The students that attend Holy Family School this year come from 31 Catholic Parishes and 34 Long Island School Districts. Their cultural, economic, and academic diversity gives a beautiful personality to our school family, similar to what one would find in a loving family. Each student is known by name, and loved for his or her God-given gifts and talents. The faculty, staff, and administration of Holy Family School take very seriously the sacred trust parents place in us when they leave their children in our care. We strive to be an extension of their home and family life by ensuring that the beliefs, values, and morals that are aligned with our faith and their family are evident in all we do as a school family. The underlying theme for all Catholic Schools is: “Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service”.

We at Holy Family School are proud to say we are growing in student population and in academic success. We are considered a National School of Excellence; we are Middle States accredited, and we won the title of Best of Long Island.

Animal Shelter.

After a visit to the shelter located on Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh, John decided to hold a drive to collect

needed items for the animals who reside there.

During a two-week period, he managed to collect $600 in cash, as well as

beds, toys, treats and other needed items on a list provided by employees.

“When I walked through the hallway at the shelter, it brought me to tears that so many animals needed to be adopted,” he said.

An avid animal lover, John said he plans to continue donating his time to the animal shelter and is looking forward to being able to work directly with the animals upon turning 18 years of age. In the meantime, John is working hard toward his goal of graduation and was named one of the high school’s 74 top seniors who attended the annual General’s Breakfast. John is most interested in business and computer science and is a member of the Business Honor Society. He plans on continuing his studies in computer science this SHELTER HERO AWARD - MacArthur High School Principal Joseph Sheehan is coming fall at one of Long pictured with senior and Shelter Hero Award recipient John Ramirez.

Finding Zen By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

I recently found out that my yoga studio, the one I have been frequenting for the last several years, will be closing come the end of February. Sure, there are other studios, other forms of meditation that can be explored; but this was my studio, the one I had come to regard as a sanctuary of sorts, a respite from the oftstressful daily grind.

When I began taking classes there, some three or four years ago, my goal was to attend one, two – even three – sessions per week, at all different levels, in an effort to explore this newfound hobby.

I had originally decided to look into the practice after

“retiring” from dancing for the previous 20 years, and determined that yoga would be the perfect combination of strength and conditioning, balance and relaxation, that I needed.

Of course, my grand plans eventually dwindled down to about once a week, as I found a regular class that I loved. Every Wednesday (or as many as I could manage to make it to), I would look forward to those 75 minutes of guided technique and mental cleansing.

Certainly, anyone can undertake the basic yoga stretches and breathing techniques on his/her own; but there is definitely something about a structured class which brings a whole new level to

the practice.

And so, come March, I will need to find a new venue to attend, a new haven to explore this ancient ritual, which has so very many benefits in the modern world. How glad I am that I ventured into that particular studio all those years ago, and how very appreciative I am of the community of fellow “yogis” that I have come to know and respect.

Here’s hoping that I find a new home for my hobby, one as welcoming and fulfilling and full of inspiration. ‘Til then, I shall savor these remaining weeks in my old familiar studio, surrounded by familiar faces; and I shall take a deep breath and appreciate all the goodness yoga has brought to my life.

Lazy Afternoon By: Ivy Chang

Lay down on my bed one afternoon Outside my window pane I see sky, cloud, tall trees and their branches The sky changes colors The cloud moves The wind breeze makes the branches sizzling along with leaves dancing The scheme of the scene keeping dissolved to another Before I even realize

What a lazy afternoon Just like many times before I am having this privilege lying down Quiet and peaceful like a piece of object Watching a moving scene Divided by a pane of glass Changing scheme to another scheme What a familiar lagged feeling To enjoy this warm wealth from the natural beauty Inside my own eyes

Tech Day Held The fourth annual TechDay was held at Wantagh High School on January 7th, during which more than 120 district students in grades 5-12 expanded their knowledge of game design and programming, web development and mobile development. The goal of the event was to introduce and expand the students’ knowledge of computer science, a field expected to grow rapidly during the next decade.

TechDay co-founder Peter Mountanos explained that the TechDay team is comprised of district alumni who assist students in understanding the basic notions of how computers work and how they can

Attention Parents If you have a child (children) residing in the Levittown School District who was (were) born between December 2nd, 2011 and December 1st, 2012, they will be eligible for kindergarten for the 2017-2018 school year.

be used. “Beyond just giving students a useful tool, we hoped to cultivate the joy and enthusiasm we ourselves feel for this rewarding approach to problem-solving,” said Mountanos, who is also a district alumnus and current board of education member.

Separated into small classes based on experience level, students learned web development by using HTML, CSS and JavaScript and built their own websites, which they can continue to work on after TechDay. They also utilized

Scratch and Python, the basics of coding, to make computer games.

In addition, students learned Android development and built their own Android project by remaking the popular app.

“Students who attended TechDay advanced their knowledge of existing and emerging computer technologies, making them better equipped for the future,” said Penny Curry, the district’s director of information systems and instructional technology.

I do what I want to do But what could be more important than watching the natural scenes.

What should I not do I don’t do what I don’t want to do Why should I give up all these to think something meaningfulness.

Elf, Jr. Under the direction of musical director Carol Spainer and producer Melisa Baker, Levittown’s Wisdom Lane Middle School’s cast and crew drew a packed audience for the school’s musical production of Thomas Meehan’s and Bob Martin’s “Elf Jr.” Based on the beloved holiday film, the hilarious comedy tells the story of

Buddy the Elf, played by Brandon Moy, in his quest to find his true identity. The comedic actions of Santa Claus, played by Nicholas Widdicombe, the elves and the New Yorkers drew laughter from the audience and fellow actors. Members of the cast added to the upbeat tone of the play with musical selections such as “Never Fall in Love with an

Elf,” and “World’s Greatest Dad.” The success of the play was also due to the efforts of stage crew director and set/prop designer Barry Spainer, sound designer Glen Davis, choreographer Joanna Capitelli, costumes Chery Manniello and stage manager Melanie Cammarata.

Clara Song, a sophomore at East Meadow High School, has been selected as a Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership ambassador.

According to its website, HOBY, founded in 1958, is an organization that inspires and develops the global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation.

As an ambassador, Clara will participate with other teenagers at the HOBY Leadership Conference, where she will collaborate with recognized leaders in business, government, education and other

professions to discuss current world issues.

Clara was selected through a rigorous process that included an interview by faculty, administration and a former HOBY ambassador.

She unanimously impressed the panel with her poise, confidence and genuine concern for others.

Clara is a very conscientious student who is involved in numerous extracurricular activities.

She is a member of the school’s STEM, Pre-Med and Key clubs and an active member of the Science, Social Studies and English

honor societies. She also volunteers at WinthropUniversity Hospital and conducts her own research in the medical chemistry lab at St. John’s University.

Last summer, Clara was fortunate enough to participate in a Global Health Initiative trip to the Dominican Republic, and she is currently planning a community service trip to Peru.

With a passion for science and a desire to help others, Clara aspires to pursue a career in the medical field, specifically in global health.

Language Extravaganza In an attempt to assist Levittown sixth-graders in choosing a language to study, foreign language students from Division Avenue and MacArthur high schools held a World Language Extravaganza at Jonas E. Salk and Wisdom Lane middle schools.

The high school students

prepared presentations about the advantages of studying a foreign language, the field trips available, and information about art, culture, jobs and careers available.

Levittown Social Studies Director Steve Costello said the students are currently working with

their guidance counselors to choose a language for next school year. “The goal of the World Language Extravaganza is to get the students excited about taking a foreign language and to help them decide between taking French, Spanish or Italian next school year,” Costello said.

Buzzing with Words

We all deal with increases in expenses all the time.

We recently learned that the minimum wage was increased to $10.00 per hour in our area, and it will continue to increase to up to $15.00 per hour by 2021.

These types of increases are a result of decisions from our elected officials.

On the surface, many people think this is good and fair; but when you delve deeper, you may find that it might not be so good after all.

All businesses, including small businesses, must now figure out a way to deal with these increased costs.

They now must decide how much of these costs their business can absorb and how much must now be passed on to the consumer.

Many businesses are

still dealing with the large increases in their health care costs. Many businesses will be forced to eliminate positions, as well as minimize some of their services. Ultimately, it is the consumer who will be adversely affected by all of this.

Let’s all hope for better days ahead! We have an opportunity with our new administration to cut the size of government and its excessive spending and waste. We have an opportunity to limit government control and waste in many areas such as healthcare, education, student loans and social service benefits.

Able Americans should be in control of their own destinies, working and earning their own way in this world, and not

being enabled to rely on government handouts which ultimately become yet another cost to all of us hard working taxpayers.

Government assistance is meant for those who are truly in need of and deserving of the help. These less fortunate Americans are the only ones who should be allowed to benefit from these costly government services.

So, if you find yourself having to pay more for a product or service, or you seem to be waiting longer and longer for assistance in places of business or of government service, realize where this all started, and who is paying for all the wasteful government spending.

It is US, THE TAXPAYERS.

The Wantagh High School Robotics Team earned both the Tournament Champion Award and the Robot Skills Champion Award during the “Men In Black” Vex Robotics Competition Qualifier on January 15th.

Under the direction of John Walsh, the team was able to use their ingenuity, design, dedication and hard work to prevail over 16 other teams.

In preparation for

competition, the students used their knowledge of engineering, science and mathematics to make modifications to a stock Vex robot, being careful to remain within the set rules of the competition.

Teams then competed on a playing field, making their robots perform specific tasks. The theme of this year’s competition is Star Gazer, and students are required to program their robots to knock foam

stars off of a ledge and pick them up or knock them out of the playing field.

The Wantagh Robotics Team is now qualified for the Vex Robotics Southern New York Championship in March and the Vex National Championship later this school year.

The district congratulates the team on this outstanding accomplishment.

Winning Season The four-member team is comprised of seniors Amanda DeLisi, Alyssa Breeze, Skye Mollica and junior Amanda Petrillo. Amanda DeLisi and Amanda Petrillo were recently voted as top bowlers to watch on Long Island. In addition, DeLisi currently holds a

175 average and is ranked ninth in Nassau County, while Petrillo holds a 195 average and is ranked third in Nassau County.

The Levittown School District wishes the team much success during the bowling season.

Northside School students presented two completed projects to the trustees, Central Administration and community during the January 11th board of education public meeting held at Levittown Memorial Education Center.

Fourth-graders in Melissa Dinkelacker’s and Kevin Vilbig’s class demonstrated how the weight of cardboard affected the speed of their vehicles during their

Cardboard Boxcar Derby.

As part of the science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics unit, the students studied the forces of motion and integrated science principles with math and writing. At the end of their presentation, they showed those in attendance how the cars worked.

In an effort to show their appreciation of Levittown veterans, Northside students also created a large American

flag from Popsicle sticks.

In art class, each student wrote the name of a family member(s) who has served in the military on a red, white or blue Popsicle stick. Many wrote thank you messages to these beloved veterans. The flag is on display at Levittown Memorial Education Center.

Art teacher Nikki Kessler said, “We hope this project shows the gratitude we feel for those who have served the country.”

A Lesson in Mandarin

Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District’s Department of World Languages expanded its offerings for the 20162017 school year with the addition of Mandarin Chinese.

“The response to the program was positive, and classes are now well under way at both Grand Avenue and Merrick Avenue middle schools,” said World Languages Chairperson Rosa Kaplan.

At the start of the year, seventh-grade students began studying the Chinese language and culture with their teacher, Helen Han. Through a storytelling approach, students were quickly immersed in the language, as Ms. Han believes in teaching her entire lesson in Mandarin.

“It did not take long for students to begin speaking in Mandarin and they are already reading and writing simplified Chinese

characters and Pinyin,” said Renée Fallon, a world languages chairperson.

The students are also learning about Chinese culture. Han incorporates authentic materials, videos, music and her own experience involving daily life in China. Currently there are 35 students enrolled in the program, including 15 at Grand Avenue Middle School and 20 at Merrick Avenue Middle School.

Youth Clinic During the holiday break, the Sanford H. Calhoun High School girls varsity and junior varsity basketball teams held a basketball skills clinic for fourth- to eighth-grade girls in the

Merrick and North Merrick communities.

Nearly 60 girls attended and learned various skills, performed drills and built confidence.

The next clinic will be held on January 21st, 2017,

Venturing Into Native Territory from 9 to 11 a.m. Sign ups are at the door for $20 per child. Grades 4 and 5 will attend between 9 and 10 a.m. and grades 6, 7 and 8 can attend between 10 and 11 a.m.

Fourth-grade students at Winthrop Avenue School in Bellmore were immersed in a two-day in-house field trip to American Indian territory to hone their knowledge of the Eastern Woodland Native Americans. The curriculum-based event titled “Journeys Into American Indian Territory” discussed the geographical location of the Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples, their government and

modes of survival.

The program also stressed principles taught in the district’s character education program, which focuses on core values and leadership principles.

Presenter Ronnie Cornacchio explained to the students that tribes had to work together to survive. “It was a balanced society that depended on teamwork,” he said.

Students also learned about respect, kindness

and teamwork during presenter Maddi Cheers’ telling of an Iroquoian tale titled “Lesson of the NoFace Doll.”

During the field trip, students explored artifacts in the museum and a longhouse, learned to make clay pots, played traditional games, listened to Native American legends and learned traditional Iroquoian dances and music.
