Stamping Out Hunger Island Harvest Food Bank is teaming up with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) for the 25th annual Stamp Out Hunger campaign on Saturday, May 13th. As the nation’s largest single-day food drive, postal carriers across the country will collect nonperishable food items donated by generous homeowners. On Long Island, all food collected will help Island Harvest Food Bank to provide supplemental food support to the more than 316,000 Long Islanders who are at risk of hunger and food insecurity.

Participating in Stamp Out Hunger is easy. Simply leave nonperishable food items, such as canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices and shelfstable milk (please, no glass items), next to your mailbox before your regularly scheduled mail delivery on Saturday, May 13th. Your USPS letter carrier will do the rest. All food donated will help replenish Island Harvest Food Bank’s network of food pantries, soup kitchens and other emergency feeding programs in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

“Every donation, no matter how small, will help us serve those of our neighbors who are struggling to put food on their tables,” said Randi

Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank. “We have an amazing, long-standing partnership with the National Association of Letter Carriers, the United States Postal Service, and our corporate partners, and thank them for their ongoing support in working to end hunger locally and across the nation.”

“The National Association of Letter Carriers is once again proud to partner with Island Harvest Food Bank and support its efforts in addressing the problem of hunger in our local communities,” said Walter Barton, president, NALC Branch 6000. “Letter Carriers have a unique relationship with the community. We often see the need for food assistance firsthand. This will be the 25th consecutive year that the Letter Carriers across the nation have collected food for the less fortunate.

During that time, over 1.5 billion pounds of food have been distributed. We’re happy to help give back to the community, and provide much-needed food support for the thousands of Long Island families affected by hunger.”

Since its inception twenty-five years ago, Stamp Out Hunger has collected approximately 1.5 billion pounds of food nationally to help address the issue of hunger in

America. Last year, Stamp Out Hunger netted 80.1 million pounds of food in 10,000 cities and towns, and in all 50 states. In 2016, Long Islanders donated 471,553 pounds of food, which supplemented 392,963 meals, to Stamp Out Hunger.

That generosity made Long Island one of the top-ten food collection regions.

Every dollar donated can provide meals for 11 people through Feeding America, and students and jlynn@southbaysneighbor.com staff at Newbridge Road facebook.com/instepwithjamie Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District have been doing their part to help the hungry.

During a recent spirit assembly, Principal By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Denise Fisher reviewed ruminating on the power of It all begins with one the character trait of the the almighty calendar and moment, whether it is rising month for April — caring its tendency to dictate our early to see the sun come — and read students

“Uncle Willie and the Soup Kitchen” which is about a boy who helps the less fortunate. From April 18th-21st, children were asked to bring in a quarter a day for a total of $1 for the week to donate to Feeding America. They raised awareness for the cause with various spirit days by wearing sports jerseys, crazy socks and pajamas to school.

“Something so little, that we take for granted,

could mean the world to others,” said Ms. Fisher, who noted that the school collected enough money to feed more than 4,000 people. “We should be giving back to be grateful for what we have. Your spare change can turn into a lot of meals.”

Added fifth-grader Katie O’Shea, “People need food to survive. We should be helping people around us.”

Morning Mindset “Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.” ~ Lemony Snicket We all have our routines.

Me, I find particular solace in the schedules of daily life more so than most. My mornings, especially, tend to dictate the tone of the afternoon and evening. This is both good and bad, of course.

A missed wake-up alarm, a favorite pair of jeans in the laundry, no more milk in the fridge… all can lead to being thrown off track and sent on your way in a state of disarray.

Whereas, when things run like clockwork, the feeling tends to be more of the notion that nothing can stand in the way of productivity. Who knew the snooze button could hold so much power?

In lieu of last week’s column

schedules to the point that we no longer can differentiate those things we truly enjoy doing from those that are pure obligation, I received several kind letters from readers expressing their complete agreement that their lives, too, have been taken over by those tiny square boxes.

One woman even went so far as to recommend a book, “Quiet Mind,” which suggests that we would all be better served by taking a moment to sit back and relax, to find an hour of peace in which to clear our minds of the clutter that accumulates over the course of day after day spent running from one task to the next. The idea is to eventually, over time, expand upon this hour and have its influence extend throughout the entire day. How nice that would be.

up over the Great South Bay, or taking the extra time to prepare a homemade breakfast during the rush of the week, or even driving the scenic route to work. Little things add up to big things, and big things become a way of living, day by day. There is ample benefit to be found in making that effort.

It is not a perfect process, to be sure. There will still be those days when the snooze button seems the most viable option, when skipping breakfast and running out the door to sit in traffic is how you are destined to spend your morning. But that doesn’t have to dictate the tone of the entire day. Pop a CD in, turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy the ride.

There are miles to go before you sleep.

WELLINGTON, Fla. (CBS12) — Grief counselors are at Emerald Cove Middle School on Monday to help students cope with the loss of a fellow student, according to district leaders.

Jonathon Gonzalez, 13, died after crashing a dirt bike over the weekend.

It happened Sunday afternoon near Oakberry Circle and Oak Hamlet Lane in Wellington. The dirt bike crashed into a canal, according to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue spokesman Albert Borroto.

A medical helicopter took the boy to the hospital where he later died.

The Gonzalez family set up a GoFundMe page (https://www.gofundme.com/our-beloved-jonathon-gonzalez) to help with the funeral expenses. Hundreds of students and friends showed up at a candlelight vigil at the Wellington Edge clubhouse.

Mourners marched to the canal where the crash happened.

Meaghan has created an organization called “Project Keep Playing,” which encourages female

athletes to wear facemasks on the field to prevent injury. Meaghan claims that many injuries can be preventable for the one in four athletes who have received or witnessed a face injury due to the lack of a facemask.

“As a softball player myself, I have witnessed numerous injuries sustained to players that

could have been protected both in the game and at practice,” Meaghan said.

“It is time to be protected and just keep playing.

During the board meeting, Meaghan gave statistics on injuries and introduced the community to her website www. projectkeepplaying.weebly. com.

Don’t Pollute First-graders at Birch School in the Merrick School District celebrated Earth Day by fashioning baby owls and nests out of natural resources and recycled materials.

Students in Kelley Merkle and Allysa Meirowitch’s class read

“All About Owls” by Jim Arnosky and learned about the life cycle of an owl, how they are beneficial to the environment, and the importance of respecting and protecting their habitats.

With the help of teaching assistant Judy

Artwork Unveiled O’Neil, the first-graders created baby owls using pinecones, recycled paper and cotton balls. They also constructed nests for their hooting friends by using shredded paper and recycled brown paper bags to replicate twigs and branches.

The exemplary artwork of K-6 students was unveiled during the opening of the 2017 Bellmore Star Arts Gallery, held at the district office on April 20th. More than 40 pieces of artwork were exhibited in matching gold frames, donated by alumnus James Perna. Under the guidance of teachers Michelle

Block and Stephen Gorey, the students expressed themselves through a variety of media and skills sets including mask making, watercolor, pencil and more.

A welcome addition to this year’s art venue was a performance by student-musicians, under the direction of Kathleen

Rostholder.

Block said one of the purposes of the art show is “to infuse a love of the arts while showcasing students’ best works.”

In addition, Gorey said, “The Bellmore Star Arts Gallery is a nice way to reward student leadership in the arts.”

New York metropolitan area and is looking forward to celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the program this coming Fall.

Once a year, the iSchools hold their international iConference, consisting of scores of papers related to informationrelated research, covering topics from information seeking behavior, to the economics of information, information ethics, information retrieval, applications of big data, social implications of the internet and other technologies, and knowledge organization.

The iConference has a unique emphasis on promoting a collective understanding of the evolving field of information studies.

Dr. Thomas D. Walker, Associate Dean of the College of Education, Information, and Technology and the Director of LIU’s Palmer School of Library and Information Science attended the most recent iConference in Wuhan, China. He said, “Actively contributing to the iSchools’ annual iConference is a tangible way for the Palmer School and extended LIU community to be involved in international discussions of information studies research and education. The Palmer School is already playing a leadership role in related developments in the New York City area and through our inclusion in the iSchools consortium, we look forward to working with an expanded network to place LIU at the forefront of the evolving, 21st-century information culture.”

Long Island University’s prestigious Palmer School of Library and Information Sciences was recently admitted to the elite community of iSchools, an international consortium of prominent information schools with robust research traditions and well-established Ph.D. programs.

The organization promotes high-level research and higher education in the information disciplines.

Being part of this prestigious consortium is an honor shared with leading information schools around the world, including University of California, Berkley, Penn State and Carnegie Mellon.

“LIU’s Palmer School is honored to be a part of the prestigious iSchools consortium,” said Dr. Kimberly R. Cline, President of LIU. “As a member of iSchools our Palmer School students and alumni will have access to expanded opportunities in the global information industry, where they have already proven to be leaders in the field.”

One of the primary benefits is the close participation with other leading programs around the globe and the possibility of research and study collaborations that would benefit students, faculty and the greater LIU community.

The Palmer School is the only institution in metropolitan New York City with full tiered membership in the organization signifying its evolving emphasis in information studies. Full membership requires an outstanding record of scholarship, a mature Ph.D. program, and significant external funding.

The Palmer School is a recognized leader in information and library science and is one of just 62 schools accredited by the American Library Association. It also offers the only Ph.D. program in Information Studies in the

Model Congress Members of East Meadow High School’s National Social Studies Honor Society and Model Congress traveled to Washington, D.C., from April 5th-7th for an authentic learning experience.

Over the three days, the 38 juniors and seniors, who are enrolled in Advanced Placement social studies courses, received a guided tour of historical monuments, including

the Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln and Vietnam Veterans memorials.

During their travels the group visited the White House, Arlington National Cemetery, the National Museum of American History and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Students also received a special visit from Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, who spoke

to the group about her work in D.C., outside the U.S. Capitol.

In addition, the group stopped by the Newseum, an interactive museum that promotes, explains and defends free expression and the five freedoms of the First Amendment.

Through this opportunity, the students enhanced their knowledge of U.S. history while experiencing the nation’s capital.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Every day is Earth Day at Wantagh Elementary School as kindergarten students in Sarah Danziger’s class reused various plastic containers to create planters for flowers and vegetables.

Under the direction of STEAM (science, technology, engineering,

the arts and mathematics) teacher Kaitlin Dayton, the students learned that taking something old and making it into something new is the perfect way to recycle.

“You need to do your part to take care of the environment,” Dayton told the class.

There were margarine containers, cupcake liner holders, deli containers and water bottles for the students to choose from and decorate prior to planting peppers, sunflowers, tomatoes, basil and thyme.

Melissa O’Donnell’s second-graders at Chatterton School in the Merrick School District engaged in the art of debate during the class’ annual Writing Celebration on April 7th.

The assignment began weeks prior with the reading of “The Stories Julian Tells,” a book series by Ann Cameron that presents a range of characters with unique personalities. Afterward, the students wrote reports that compared and contrasted the characteristics of Julian,

his brother Huey, his friend Gloria and his parents.

Employing their critical thinking skills and diligent research, they defended the traits of one character of their choosing during brief debates delivered in pairs.

Weeks of preparation and practice led up to debate day. Those with differing opinions were partnered up to defend their argument with evidence from the book, demonstrate respect for their partner’s viewpoint by not speaking over them, and perfect their delivery

technique by maintaining good eye contact.

As the students debated, family members, teachers and administrators rotated among the groups to hear how they were validating their claims.

Following the debates, the students enjoyed a spring party with a lighthearted craft activity.

Assisted by PTA parents, they created bird feeders by dipping ice cream cones in jelly, covering them with birdseed and stringing them with yarn so they could be hung outdoors.

Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center students in Bellmore enjoyed ways to nurture the planet during the school’s annual Earth Day celebration.

Kindergarten students kicked off the celebration with a recycled hat parade.

They recited the Earth Day pledge during a gathering in the auditorium, where they sang, under the direction of music teacher Randi Andersen, the “Reinhard Song,” “Spring is Here,” “Spring has Sprung” and “This Land is

Your Land.” Nassau County Legislator Steven Rhoads was also in attendance and told the students they are responsible for the planet.

“Earth Day teaches us that you have the power to make a difference in the world around you,” he said.

First- and second-grade students gathered in the auditorium to also recite the Earth Day pledge and to listen to Principal Patricia Castine’s recitation of Jane Yolen’s poem “Earth Day.” They performed several songs for including “What do Animals Need” for

friends and family.

In addition to the class celebrations, students assisted faculty with the planting of flowers in the courtyard and a tree, purchased with donations from the PTA and Legislator Rhoads.

Throughout the day, the students were constantly reminded that they are stewards of the planet.

They also received a special treat of ice pops from Legislator Rhoads to celebrate the day.

Andraya Givargis, a sixth-grader at W.T. Clarke Middle School in the East Meadow School District, accepted the title of school principal on April 21st as part of the school’s “Principal for a Day” fundraiser.

Organized by the school’s Change 4 Change

club, sixththrough eighth-grade students entered the contest for the chance to serve as school principal by purchasing $1 raffle tickets. The Principal for a Day program raised more than $200.

With Principal Stacy Breslin at her side, Andraya spent the day

conducting the morning announcements, attending meetings with faculty, visiting classrooms to observe student learning and promoting educational excellence throughout the building.

Change 4 Change is a student-driven service club in which members develop creative fundraising projects and competitions throughout the year.

During a culminating assembly at the end of May, the members distribute funds raised from the year to causes of their choosing.

So far this year, the club has raised more than $4,000 through various drives and fundraisers.

Best Artists The artwork of Division Avenue High School students Lobna Bayoumy and Salia Soeun-Thol and MacArthur High School student Kamilla Tlemissova were three of 84 pieces selected for exhibition in the annual Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at the Heckscher Museum exhibit.

The annual arts-ineducation initiative is a juried exhibition that offers students the opportunity to exhibit their art in a museum setting. Students in grades

9-12 are invited to create a work of art in various media based on artwork shown in the Heckscher Museum of Art during the current school year.

This year, students from 56 high schools in Nassau and Suffolk counties submitted 387 works of art for competition.

Lobna entered her artwork titled “An American Eclipse,” inspired by Americans’ fears regarding the election and their future under president Trump. Salia’s artwork, titled “King and

Queen,” was inspired by friends who are part of the LGBT community.

In addition, Kamilla’s oil painting titled “Competitive World” received the Achievement Award in Painting and the Joseph Mack Achievement Award. Joseph Mack was founder of Huntington Fine Arts, and the award includes six free classes and a gift card for art supplies.

To view the artwork of these talented artists, log onto the Levittown School District’s website at www. levittownschools.com.

Terrific Kids

Artifacts Unveiled Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Education Center Key Club Vice President José Heras and adviser Lillian Creedon unveiled a 9/11 sculpture for the Levittown community during the April 19th board of education meeting.

The sculpture is displayed at the Levittown Memorial Education Center alongside the Gerald R. Claps Career

and Technical Education Center’s quilt, which commemorates the 15th anniversary of September 11th.

Both the quilt and the sculpture will be donated to the Levittown Public Library for display this coming summer.

The metal artifact from the 9/11 site was donated by the New York Fire Department Fireman’s Training Center located

on Randall’s Island and was a request by Key Club member José Heras, who felt the need to further educate the community about this horrific event.

After José acquired the piece, he and his father, Felipe Heras, constructed a podium. The community is encouraged to reflect upon this historical event upon touching the metal.

Among a sea of community members, faculty and students, the East Meadow Board of Education recognized the March and April “Terrific Kids” of Woodland and W.T. Clarke middle schools during their communication meeting on April 20th.

Kicking off the celebratory evening, the Bowling Green Elementary School Chamber Orchestra, consisting of 28 fourth- and fifth-

graders, serenaded those in attendance under the direction of the school’s orchestra teacher, Kristen Bean.

Following, students from both middle schools were honored by East Meadow Kiwanis President Ross Schiller, members of the board, and middle school Principals Stacy Breslin and James Lethbridge for being role models in their school communities.

Sponsored by the East Meadow Kiwanis, the

Terrific Kids program recognizes sixth- through eighth-graders who continuously improve as individuals, students and community leaders.

“We recognize these middle school students because they are role models who set an example for others and demonstrate exceptional character within the community,” said Superintendent of Schools Leon J. Campo.

Frogs Make Friends The “Frog Man” came to Park Avenue Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District to teach students about the amphibious creatures.

Along with some of his friends, science consultant Brian Wallrapp met with second-grade classes on April 25th. After reading

a book about frogs, he brought the lesson to life for the children by introducing them to Freddie the fire-bellied frog, Tammy the tree frog, and a pair of toads named Bert and Ernie. He discussed the life cycles of frogs and toads, the differences between the

two species, and their habitats. Students also saw a frog skeleton.

Principal Eileen Speidel said that this program made a great connection to Writer’s Workshop, as many students have chosen to write about animals and other living creatures for their nonfiction pieces.

All hands were on deck at Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District on April 22nd when 100 volunteers, including One Voice, One Message ambassadors, packaged 20,000 meals in coordination with Rise Against Hunger.

Teachers and chairpersons were hauling 50-pound bags of vegetables and grains.

Students worked in an assembly line, funneling dehydrated meals and vitamins into bags. Principals acted as couriers from the assembly tables to packaging locations. Administrators

were taping up boxes full of meals and stacking them for transport. The superintendent manned a push broom, cleaning up any food spillover.

“They [the ambassadors] are the most incredible human beings with the largest hearts that serve as outstanding role models,” said Deputy Superintendent Dr. Mara Bollettieri, who is also the co-One Voice, One Message adviser.

Money raised at the March One Voice, One Message Superhero 5K Run paid for the meals.

Rise Against Hunger is

an international hunger relief organization that distributes food to the world’s most vulnerable areas of the world.

“By sending the meals to schools abroad, the children will not only have a hot meal, but will receive an education as well,” added co-One Voice, One Message adviser and social studies chairperson Robyn Einbinder. “Students and staff alike were moved by the impact these meals will have, and thoroughly enjoyed working together throughout the morning.”

Community Awareness

NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS’

The Only Person You Should Try To Be Better Than Is The Person You Were Yesterday!

328163N0503

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

As students and faculty entered the halls of MacArthur High School during April, they were constantly reminded of the importance of coming together to bring awareness to autism, a disorder that affects many students and adults in the Levittown community.

Art students created lanterns decorated with puzzle pieces, the iconic symbol of autism awareness, that hung on the ceilings in the main hallway. There was also a showcase of artwork created by the district’s Applied Behavior Analysis students. In addition, students and staff donned autism awareness T-shirts,

whose sale annually funds the Autism Society of America.

Autism Awareness Month Chairman Vince Causeman said, “The more awareness there is, the more likely students with autism will be treated with acceptance, understanding and compassion.”

On April 3rd, students and staff wore their T-shirts and took time to learn about autism and how it affects individuals.

These activities were followed by the annual LAX for Autism games on April 15 and the second annual Strike Out Autism Baseball Game on April 22 against Plainview-Old Bethpage School District. Student-

athletes also coordinated workshops to teach the district’s ABA students to play various sports throughout the month.

Dr. Tonie McDonald, the Levittown School District superintendent, said that the autism awareness campaign is dear to the community’s heart. “Children on the autism spectrum have a different world view and require different teaching techniques in order to reach their full potential,” she said. “I am so grateful for the relationships we have fostered with our teachers, parents and students to provide the best quality education for our students.”

Irish Writing Honorees Division Avenue High School student Jennifer Daly and MacArthur High School students Madison Amerman, Olivia Eden, Christopher Flick and Emily Lung were winners in the 2017 Martin J. Kelly Annual Writing Contest, sponsored by the Irish Cultural Society of Garden

City.

This year’s entrants, open to students from Nassau County in grades 9-12, were instructed to write a poem that conforms to the syllabic and rhyme scheme of the Gaelic quatrain, a complex four-line verse using ancient Gaelic structure.

Judges considered the conformity to the structure of the quatrain, elegance of language and skillfulness of the rhymes in each entry.

The Levittown School District congratulates the students on this outstanding accomplishment.

Poetic Citation MacArthur High School senior Shaylin Troiano received a Citation in Poetry for her original poem titled “Dementia” during the annual Adelphi

University 2017 Poetry Day. The poem was included in an original manuscript Shaylin submitted to a panel of judges. She attended the program with

teacher Michele Witte.

The Levittown School District congratulates Shaylin on this outstanding academic achievement.
