100 Days Brighter As Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center students recently filed into their classrooms, they were greeted with balloons and congratulated by faculty and staff for having attended the first 100 days of school.

Students in pre-K, kindergarten and first grade then gathered in the

auditorium where they sang the Reinhard Song, “The 100 Song” and “One

by One” to celebrate the momentous occasion. To sharpen their math skills, everyone counted to 100 by tens and fives, stayed completely silent for 100 seconds and searched with classmates for 100 words posted throughout the

The Little Mermaid

school.

In addition, second-grade students participated in a 100-Day math challenge by writing equations totaling 100. Many of the students also decorated their T-shirts and poster boards with items totaling 100 and dressed as 100-year-old people.

A talented cast and crew drew a full house during performances of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” held in the Wantagh High School auditorium.

Under the direction of Heather Naughton and vocal director Jennifer Alessi, the cast amused the audience with this memorable tale about the beautiful mermaid princess

Ariel, played by Nicole Ninivaggi, who dreams of becoming human.

The pit orchestra, under the baton of Mindy Dragovich, entertained theater-goers with popular musical interludes, including “Under the Sea,” “Beyond My Wildest Dreams,” and “If Only.”

Prior to opening night, the National Honor Society

held an Intergenerational Dinner with a Greek café theme for the community’s senior citizens, who were invited to attend a free performance of the musical. The students served the guests a meal of lemon chicken with potatoes, Greek salad and a variety of desserts.

upgrades.

The bond initiative will fund the repairs and renovations to the schools, improve energy efficiency, support science initiatives and restore the district’s natural grass athletic fields for school and community use. The proposed bond would also support major repairs and upgrades to the public library to enhance additional programs and services, improve energy efficiency and security systems and increase opportunities to serve students and patrons.

During the life span of the bond, the average annual cost to the taxpayer is $57.53, or approximately 16¢ per day. The projected average annual cost to the taxpayer is calculated using the average assessed property value as determined by the Nassau County Assessor’s Office.

It is anticipated the work in the schools will begin during the summer of

2018 and the library work will also begin sometime in 2018.

This is an exciting time for the community. All residents are encouraged to vote on Tuesday, March 7th, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., at all district elementary schools. For more information, visit the school district website at www.eastmeadow.k12. ny.us or the library website at www.eastmeadow. info. You can also find information on the bond on Facebook by liking East Meadow Schools and Public Library Joint Bond.

The Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great is celebrated at 9:30 a.m. every Lenten Sunday (from March 5th to April 2nd) at Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, 369 Green Avenue in East Meadow.

On Tuesday, March 7th, residents will have an opportunity to vote on a joint bond referendum proposed by the East Meadow Public Schools and the East Meadow Public Library that, if approved, will renovate and improve the schools and library to better serve students and community residents into the future.

For the first time in East Meadow’s history, residents will vote on a joint bond at significant savings to the taxpayer.

The East Meadow schools are more than 60 years old and in need of major repairs and renovations that are too costly to include in the annual school budget without significantly increasing taxes and/or cutting programs and services to students. The public library has not undertaken a major renovation in more than 30 years, and requires major repairs and

Flipping Flapjacks Students at Merrick Avenue Middle School do not need an incentive to carry out the One Voice, One Message mission of collecting food donations for the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District’s new food pantry.

N o n e t h e l e s s , administrators offered a

sweet treat to the team who collected the most pantry items for the districtwide Day of Service event — a warm hotcake breakfast. At MAMS, students are split up into four site-based teams.

Various staff members floured, flipped, served and syruped a pancake feast

for the winners, Team 3, which included about 200 students.

“Merrick Avenue collectively supplied more than 1,000 pieces of donated items to the Day of Service that went to various shelters and group homes,” said Assistant Principal Katelyn Dunn.

Are We There Yet? By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 1, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

I’m fairly good with directions. For someone who, as a passenger, is rather oblivious to her surroundings, once in the driver’s seat, I can generally navigate with little trouble.

Of course, in this day and age, there is always the added benefit of GPS to fall back on. And by benefit, I mean often maddening source of frustration and bewilderment.

Case in point: my friend and I have, over the last several years, attended several of the laser light shows at the Vanderbilt Planetarium.

Of course, there are several possible routes to take, but all roads ultimately lead to one winding, somewhat meandering path through the

hilly terrain of Centerport. As these shows are generally in the evening, I always plug the address into the phone’s map so as to be sure I don’t miss a turn en route.

Of the approximately half a dozen times we have headed this way, I can honestly say we have never managed to travel the same way twice. Never.

Not once.

Just last week, as if to prove the point, my phone’s darling virtual assistant proceeded to take us on a grand tour of the residential area surrounding the planetarium, complete with dozens of unnecessary turns (followed by U-turn’s and “rerouting”), forks in the road (continue heading straight, she said) and even a pass over a small body of water (do you remember there

a fun guessing game as to which way she might send us next. Amazingly, our time of arrival only fluctuated by a minute or so, in spite of the fact that our route never came close to matching the virtually straight line that had appeared on the map.

It was a bizarre journey, to be sure – and will continue to be, should we venture that way again.

That, at least, seems to be a guarantee.

Challenger League student-athletes from Salk and MacArthur High School paired off against league participants from Wisdom Lane Middle School in an annual homecoming basketball game. MacArthur High School buddies assisted the Salk Middle School and MacArthur Challenger League athletes, and the MacArthur cheerleading team rallied the crowd with stunts and cheers.

The MacArthur High School pep band, under

the direction of Joseph Romano, also raised the spirits of the crowd.

At the start of the game, the Salk-MacArthur Challenger team ran through a homemade paper banner, and each player from both teams was introduced to the community. The players showed an enormous amount of sportsmanship while still demonstrating their competitive spirit.

The evening ended with a victory for each of the teams.

National Success

Wantagh High School Virtual Enterprise students have realized national success in their global approach to selling ice cream.

the Branding Competition.

NATIONAL SUCCESS - Wantagh High School Virtual Enterprise students received national honors for their company Abstract Ice Cream. Photo courtesy of: Wantagh School District

During the Wantagh UFSD Board of Education meeting held on February 16th, the board accepted the resignation of Superintendent of Schools Maureen Goldberg for the purpose of retirement. Concurrently, the board unanimously appointed Assistant Superintendent for Instruction John McNamara to succeed Mrs. Goldberg as superintendent of schools, effective July 1st, 2017.

“On behalf of the entire board, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to Mrs. Goldberg for her years of service and wish her a quiet and relaxing retirement,” said Board President Anthony Greco. “Mrs. Goldberg stepped into the role of superintendent during a time of administrative instability in our district, and her leadership skills and commitment to our district and students have helped Wantagh reach a higher level of achievement.”

Under Mrs. Goldberg’s leadership, Wantagh has implemented full-day kindergarten; increased the overall rigor of academic offerings, including the implementation of AP Capstone, STEAM programs and the Chromebook initiative; enhanced facilities; and passed budgets compliant with the tax levy cap. Also during her tenure as superintendent, the high school graduation rate has remained steady at 99 to 100 percent and student enrollment in Advanced Placement courses has increased.

Mrs. Goldberg joined the district in 1977 and served as a special education teacher, director of pupil personnel services and principal of Forest Lake Elementary School

for 17 years before taking on the role of superintendent.

“It has been my privilege to spend the majority of my career in Wantagh,” said Mrs. Goldberg. “I will take many fond memories of my time here with me into my retirement. I thank the board, the students, staff and community for their support during my years here. I am confident that Wantagh will continue to thrive under the leadership of Mr. McNamara.”

Upon learning of Mrs. Goldberg’s intent to retire, the

members of the board considered their options regarding the selection of the next superintendent. Following internal discussions, they concluded that Mr. McNamara had the professional qualities, personal integrity and strong familiarity with the community to lead Wantagh into the future.

“We are very fortunate to have such a qualified

candidate who is already within the ranks of our administration succeed Mrs. Goldberg,” said Mr. Greco.

“Mr. McNamara’s knowledge of our student and staff population, academic programs and vision for the future will allow for a seamless leadership transition. I have every confidence in his skills and look forward to working together to achieve our mutual goals.”

Mr. McNamara joined the Wantagh School District as assistant superintendent for instruction in July 2015 from the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District, where he served for six years as the middle school principal. He has also worked as an assistant principal in the Harborfields School District and as a social studies department chairperson for Island Trees Middle School. He began his educational career as a social studies teacher. Mr. McNamara holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Providence College, a master’s degree in liberal studies with a concentration in social studies education from Stony Brook University, and school district administrator certification from Touro College.

“It is truly an honor to be appointed as the next superintendent,” said Mr. McNamara.

“I thank the board for having the confidence in me to serve in this role. I am excited to continue working with the entire school community to sustain and support the excellence, tradition and vision of the Wantagh School District.”

Promoting Teamwork Shore Road School sixthgraders dressed in college team colors and attire to challenge one another during the school’s annual Sixth-Grade College Olympics.

The students first demonstrated the democratic process by determining their college

teams, which included the Penn State Nittany Lions, UCLA Bruins, Michigan Wolverines, Maryland Terrapins, Oregon Ducks, North Carolina Tar Heels and Syracuse Orangemen.

Under the direction of physical education teachers Brian Scott and Mallory Cogen, the

students battled it out on the court with a game of basketball as their peers cheered from the sidelines.

“The Sixth-Grade College Olympics promotes camaraderie among the students, as well as sportsmanship and healthy competition,” Mr. Scott explained.

Different Dimension By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

Sensation chases sensation No man could give me that before A strange body-devouring elation Keeps pleading “encore, encore.”

No this is not caused by any sex play Nor by what actual touch does relay It happens if I let you occupy my mind As access to your secret thoughts I find.

At those times imagination plays tricks It lets make-believe with reality mix A duet in love’s melody we will play Each of us free to act our favorite way.

What’s Inside As part of Health and Safety Week, Winthrop Avenue School students stretched out on mats to learn some basic yoga moves. Taught by Department of Education yoga instructor Arleen Mattos, the activity was an introduction to the techniques learned in the school’s new yoga club to be offered this spring.

“This is the ultimate way to make your minds

and bodies healthy and to connect with your essence,” Mattos told the students.

Participants learned etiquette on the mat, the symbolism behind the starting bell and elementary yoga techniques. They also learned that yoga builds flexibility and helps followers to pay attention and manage feelings.

In addition to yoga instruction, students also

spoke with Nassau County Police Officer Sharon Galvin about technology safety and safety in the community. They attended an assembly on good nutrition and healthy eating habits, as well as bully prevention. Students also learned about passenger and pedestrian safety through the AAA Program.

Looking out my window I saw a sparrow nibbling on a twig How unconcerned he seemed to be At problems besetting me His tiny head jerked left and right Alert to encroachments which may alight Following nature’s course with assiduous delight You can learn a lot from creatures such as these Who don’t get bogged down with heavy thought Simply doing what they’re meant to do Capturing a comfort that I’ve sought.

When I Leave Home By: Emily Franciscovich

When I leave home I feel alone When I leave home I leave my comfort zone My life pauses I don’t feel as safe Wherever I’m off to It just won’t be the same Even if I’m playing my favorite game A little later, when I start to walk home I get all excited thinking about being home Before I know it, I’m on my front step About to be welcomed into the comforts of home When I open my door I run straight to my room And fall into bed Loving it like never before And fall into a deep, comforting sleep

Celebrating 100 Days Forest Lake, Mandalay and Wantagh elementary school students celebrated the first 100 days of school with various English language arts, mathematics and art activities.

In Sarah Danziger’s kindergarten class at Wantagh Elementary School, students painted 100 gumballs on paper

gumball machines, built a structure using 100 plastic cups, finished activities in a 100-Day Book, and dressed as 100-year-old people.

Christina Basedow’s kindergartners also made bird feeders by placing 100 Cheerios on a string. Firstgrade students participated in a 100-Day word search, wrote about what it would

be like to live to 100 years old, and charted the distance of 100 steps.

Many of the kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms celebrated the momentous occasion by decorating their T-shirts with 100 of their favorite items.

Community Partnership In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the John F. Kennedy High School Key Club from the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District worked with Bellmore School District’s kindergarten students at the Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center on a Love Bug project.

The activity allowed the 25 club members to receive

valuable community service hours, while providing an opportunity to mentor younger students.

The kindergartners had fun decorating their red construction paper love bugs with fluffy pipe cleaner antennas, eyes and messages of love, while the high school students demonstrated

important role modeling and teamwork skills.

Adviser Jessica Chilton said the high school students enjoyed working with the younger students.

“The Key Club always looks forward to visiting schools and fostering a community partnership between districts,” she said.

A Sweet Tune

The Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center Student Advisory Council visited residents at Parkview Nursing Center on February 8th in celebration of Valentine’s Day. Dressed in red and pink, the 25 first- and second-grade students performed several songs, including “Love Somebody,” “V-AL-E-N-T-I-N-E,” “You

are My Sunshine” and the “Reinhard School Song.” The students then distributed Valentine’s Day cards.

The students had practiced the songs with music teacher Randi Andersen and were well prepared for the morning.

“Our goal was to spread sunshine to the residents,” Mrs. Andersen said. “The purpose of SAC is to make

a difference and each one of us can do that every day.”

In addition, secondgrade students in Marisa DeMarzo’s class joined Mrs. Andersen on Valentine’s Day to spice up the morning announcements.

The students brightened the start of everyone’s school day by singing “Love Somebody” and “V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E.”

The goal of the activity was for students to try their hands at experiments that are safe and practical and to share their results with administrators, faculty and family by crafting a formal presentation.

Principal Sally Curto

All Aboard the Cookie Train The Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) announced today that this year’s Girl Scout Cookie® booth sales will begin at various Long Island Railroad (LIRR) stations throughout Nassau County March 2nd to March 24th.

As part of the annual program, GSNC Troops will set up shop at their local railroad stations in an effort to both gain entrepreneurial experience and provide commuters with the opportunity to buy Girl Scout Cookies.

The Girl Scout Cookie® booth sales are an essential part of the Girl Scout Cookie® Program, teaching Girl Scouts the five entrepreneurial skills that are essential for every

business owner: decision making, goal setting, money management, business ethics and effective communication.

“Our Troops are excited to bring their booth sales to local train stations and make buying Girl Scout Cookies® easier for busy commuters before Girl Scout Cookie® season ends on March 28th,” said Donna Ceravolo, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Booth sales give our girls the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on entrepreneurial skills they will carry with them for years to come and work to reach their sales goals this cookie season!”

Troops will sell cookies at multiple LIRR stations

McKay. “The mission of the Foundation is to reduce the economic barriers to higher education and foster student success. The Salute to Excellence Gala is the College’s single largest

Naturally Lowering Cholesterol (NAPSI)—If living a healthier life is your cup of tea, you may be interested in an easy way to improve your health—using the natural antioxidant powers of tea.

Almost half of all Americans are overweight and have dangerously high levels of cholesterol.

Heart attacks are still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. The problem is that high cholesterol and your risk

may be greater than you think.

According to American Heart Association guidelines, the acceptable level of “bad cholesterol” is 30 percent lower than it used to be only a few years ago. This means that millions of Americans, including those who never dreamed they were at risk, now are.

Fortunately, there are natural, nonprescription

alternatives for lowering cholesterol. For example, heart-healthy products such as TeaFlavin, an all-natural, caffeine-free capsule made from tea extract, contain as much cholesterol-fighting power as 35 cups of green tea.

For more information on TeaFlavin, visit www. teaflavin.com or call (800) 876-4332.

The LI VE is funded through the Perkins Consortium.

The collaborative effort includes Nassau BOCES, Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Western Suffolk BOCES and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Technical Assistance Center of New York.

“Over the last six years we’ve grown from six teams to over 70 on Long Island,” continued Palazzo. “It’s a vibrant, problem-solving learning experience that students really take to and enjoy while learning realworld skills.”

The Virtual Enterprises

International (VEI) National Business Plan Competition is one of the most prestigious annual competitions for public high school business students. Student entrepreneurs from across the country must demonstrate their global business expertise through written business plans and oral presentations.

According to VEI, “The competition showcases best practices, rewards excellence, and trains high school students to apply sophisticated knowledge and skills attributed to business professionals and college students.”

“The Long Island Virtual Enterprises Business Plan Competition is made possible as part of the Perkins Grant Consortium,” said Ms. Gene Silverman, Executive Director of the Nassau BOCES Department of Career and Technical Education and facilitator of the consortium. “This is one of the many ways the grant enriches the lives of students throughout Nassau County, by giving them real-world workplace skills while still in high school.”

Buying A Once-Wrecked Car (NAPSI)—When it comes to used cars, safety is no accident. But an accident shouldn’t keep you from buying a used car you love. In fact, you may drive away with a bargain.

The Problem There are plenty of previously damaged cars out there. In the U.S., car crashes happen about every 60 seconds—and one in six used cars being sold

has been in an accident.

The key is to know what you’re buying.

An Answer You can start your used car search at the new Carfax.com. Every car for sale comes with a free Carfax Report that includes any reported accidents. It’ll help you tell things like how severe the accident was, what areas of the car were damaged and if the

air bags deployed. Next, get a mechanic to help you determine if the car was repaired properly.

Following these steps can help you find a swan where others see only an ugly duckling.

Learn More You can get more information and shop for great used cars at the new www.carfax.com.

(NAPSI)—Many people may not realize that it only takes two minutes for a house to be engulfed in flames. The American Red Cross and its Home Fire Campaign partners are asking everyone across the country to take the following two simple steps to help decrease the risk of home fires and save lives: 1. Create and practice your 2-minute drill.

Have at least two ways to escape from every room.

Select an outside meeting spot at a safe distance where family members and will get poor fuel can meet. Discuss the efficiency.

Tire pressure gauges are inexpensive and an easy way to determine the pressure in your tires. Find your vehicle’s recommended (NAPSI)—If you ever PSI and how to test it in the find yourself lying awake at owner’s manual. Compare night, you’re not alone— the number on the even if no one else is in gauge with your vehicle’s the room. That’s because, recommended PSI and add according to the Centers or release air to match it. for Disease Control and Do this regularly on all Prevention (CDC), more four tires. than one-quarter of the

plan with everyone in the household and practice it until everyone can escape in less than two minutes.

Conduct practice drills at least twice a year.

2. Install and maintain smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms halve your risk of dying in a home fire.

Put them on every level of your home, including inside and outside bedrooms. Test the alarms monthly and change the batteries when needed.

Never disable a smoke alarm. Teach children what an alarm sounds like and what to do if they hear one.

For a Home Fire Safety Checklist and worksheets to create your 2-minute drill go to redcross.org/fire.

You can also download, for free, the Red Cross Emergency App for instant access to home fire safety tips and the Monster Guard App for an interactive game that teaches children about home fire safety and prevention at redcross.org/ apps.

Why And How To Get A Better Night’s Sleep

Arm yourself with the right tools and you can save money by tackling easy car maintenance projects. For more information about how to make automotive repairs simpler, visit www. wd40.com/EZ.

U.S. population reports occasionally not getting enough sleep, while nearly 10 percent experience chronic insomnia.

Why To Sleep Good sleep, says the CDC, can decrease the risk of sickness and weight

gain. It helps you think more clearly, decreases stress, and leaves you more energetic and productive.

As these qualities improve, relationships tend to improve, too.

Lack of sleep can be a problem on the job, too. A study by the Law Enforcement Survival Institute showed that in a computer simulated shoot/ don’t shoot situation, fatigued police officers were more likely to shoot when not necessary.

What To Do

Many sleep specialists recommend these four steps: 1. Don’t drink caffeine late in the day.

2. Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, dark and relaxing environment; neither too hot nor too cold.

3. Make sure your bed is comfortable and don’t use it for reading, watching TV or listening to music.

4. Take a bath before bedtime.

Prevent squeaks and corrosion from building up in the future by using a water-displacement lubricant such as WD-40® Multi-Use Product. The new WD-40 EZ-REACH™ can make this process easier with its attached 8-inch flexible straw that bends and keeps its shape.
