developed the Teach Immigration program in Long Island five years ago to empower educators and students with the knowledge to teach immigration factually and critically.

Using lessons based on current immigration law and policy, providing training on deliberations via their partnership with Street Law, Inc, a non-profit education organization, the program fosters critical thinking on immigration

issues, promotes positive school culture and supports student-driven projects.

Teachers interested in the program attended free trainings in the summer of 2015 and the fall of 2014 and were supplied with teaching materials and recommended activities.

This partnership helps to educate students about immigration law and policy in relevant, engaging ways.

Students from Brentwood UFSD and Uniondale UFSD came together to discuss the topic of immigration at the Teach Immigration Law and Policy Student Forum. Nassau BOCES in collaboration with the American Immigration Council and Street Law, Inc. were the hosts for this first-time event on Long Island.

The seventh-grade students from Lawrence Road Middle in Uniondale and ninth-graders from the Brentwood Freshman Center engaged in concurrent workshops about visas for immigrants and the President’s executive action regarding immigration.

Students were led in the session by experts in the field, immigration attorneys and community volunteers.

More than 50 students worked in groups to learn deliberative dialogue as a way to discuss and examine immigration reform and issues in the upcoming presidential election.

“The information the students are learning will effect change in their own community,” said April Francis, Lawrence Road Middle School Social Studies teacher.

“This is an opportunity for project-based service learning. These students are motivated” said Brentwood English teacher Dr. Steve Burby.

Perserverance In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm; in the real world, all rests on perseverance.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

IF ONLY ALL OF LIFE’S DECISIONS WERE THIS EASY BY: JORDAN CIANCIULLI, SENIOR, ISLIP HIGH SCHOOL

For months, I’ve been agonizing over what will be one of the biggest choices of my life.

During the fall, high school seniors from all over the world fill out their applications and make their college decisions. For me, it turned out to be an easy choice. I have decided to apply early decision to the University of Miami.

Only time will tell if my dream of attending “The U” will become a reality. I am looking forward to potentially spending the next four years alongside my brother, who is currently a sophomore at the University of Miami.

Although he transferred there - and I’m applying straight out of high school -

we both realize that Miami will provide opportunities for us that cannot be found anywhere else.

The vast challenges and possibilities that can potentially be afforded to me by the University of Miami are enticing. I am excited to undertake the next chapter of my life, and I can only hope that chapter takes places in Coral Gables.

When I attended the Manhattan Information Session on October 22nd, I was amazed by the presentation. The speakers detailed the financial aid process, the historic football dynasty and the stellar academic reputation associated with the University of Miami.

After the event, I had a chance to speak to Zachary Goldman, the Assistant Director of Admissions.

He was happy to answer all the questions that I had regarding the admissions process and left me feeling comfortable about my choice to apply early decision.

I was impressed with how knowledgeable and professional he was.

I would recommend attending an information session like this to anyone interested in applying to institutions of higher education, and more specifically, The U. That evening truly sealed the deal; I want to be a Miami Hurricane in the fall of 2016.

As part of the American Heart Association’s Work Out for Heart initiative promoting the benefits of healthy and active lifestyles, first-, secondand third-grade students at Fork Lane Elementary School collectively raised more than $7,000.

Following their remarkable efforts, the students participated in a series of workouts, including sitting-andreaching, hula-hooping, jump roping, performing push-ups and curling dumbbells. The activities, in conjunction with each

grade’s fundraising efforts, highlight the school’s promoting of heart health.

Fourth- and fifth-graders will also be participating in the activities.

On Monday, October 26th, 30 members of the Hicksville school community attended the first Supe’s On session hosted by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Carl Bonuso.

Conversation focused on leadership qualities and tips for success.

Participants enjoyed light refreshments and a cup of coffee…or soup! The feedback garnered through Supe’s On was extremely

positive.

Members of the community felt the session was powerful and informative, and that the presentation on leadership was both engaging and enlightening. It was also expressed that sessions such as this show how a school district and library can work together.

The next Supe’s On session is scheduled for January 4th, the topic of which is still to be

determined.

Many thanks to Hicksville Public Library Director Elizabeth Goldfrank and the members of the Library Board for so graciously hosting this event; Dan Friedman and Dan Russ for their technical expertise; and Chris Waters, for the many hours finalizing arrangements and tending to the details necessary to organize this cooperative endeavor.

The annual homecoming parade and crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, in addition to American Cancer Society Fundraisers, brought together the Plainview community, students and alumni as they shared school pride during the football game against Farmingdale High School.

The parade featured student designed banners celebrating various amusement parks such as “Soph Splash,” the sophomore class’ take on the water park, Splish Splash.

Each grade competed against each other in hopes judges would claim them as the grade with the best banner. The high school

cheerleading team, band and student groups also marched in the parade.

After the parade, hundreds of fans dressed in pink to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month and gathered to watch the football game and halftime show. During halftime, the high school band, cheerleaders and PAL cheerleaders performed.

After the performance, Assistant Principal Sharon Lasher announced this year’s homecoming king and queen, two special education students Cara Hayman and David Lieberman.

“I was shocked and honored,” said Homecoming King David Lieberman when asked how he felt when he was crowned.

His Queen echoed his reaction saying, “I will never forget this night, it was the best night of my life.” “It means I am respected and liked,” continued Homecoming Queen Cara Hayman.

Teachers nominate

students for the court and students vote for their top 12, the two with the highest votes are chosen as King and Queen. Both students are involved in the School’s Best Buddies program.

“This event accurately displays the values instilled in Plainview-Old Bethpage students and the spirit shared by the entire school community,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lorna Lewis. “For students to vote for two students who truly deserve the recognition and donate their time and efforts toward helping find a cure for millions of cancer patients throughout the United States, is truly a reflection of our school’s success.”

In preparation of the Coach’s Vs. Cancer game, students and staff fundraised throughout the past week in an effort to reach a $5,000 goal in total donations.

New Chapter Inductees One hundred and eighty one members of the Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School were recently inducted into the school’s DECA chapter in the presence of school administrators, DECA Alumni, faculty advisors and community members.

During its annual initiation ceremony, veteran members of DECA addressed the crowd, including Chapter President Dylan Karul and DECA alumni member Mr. Josh Seiden. Other members informed the audience of upcoming events and the chapter’s

The Chapter, under the leadership of advisors, Mrs. Lindsay DeLucca, Mr. Michael Ambury and Ms. Catherine Tortoso, prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.

Karul and Sam Vulin were crucial to the planning and execution of this event, which asks students to complete a case study.

Teams of three from high schools across Long Island including Half Hollow Hills West, Elmont, Port Washington, Patchogue-Medford, Syosset, Great Neck South and The Wheatley School worked together to think critically and develop their own unique restaurant. In

the final round, students gave their elevator pitch to judges. Plainview-Old Bethpage students Molly Davis, Kat Gomez and Kaylee Riemann placed second.

The event offers business students realworld experience and the opportunity to polish their communication skills and network with students with similar interests.

POB CHALLENGE - Plainview-Old Bethpage School District’s John F. Kennedy High School students Molly Davis, Kat Gomez and Kaylee Riemann won second place in the POB Challenge, an entrepreneurial competition planned, executed and hosted by members of POBJFK’s student members of the Business Honor Society.

The Syosset High School Forensics Society is once again ranked in the National Speech and Debate Association’s top 1 percent of schools nationwide. The honor is based on points and degrees earned in competitive and service-based activities.

“I am proud to say that Syosset Forensics has a consistent national reputation for excellence,” said adviser Lydia Esslinger, whose 2015 team was recognized in the top 20 of 7,935 participating schools nationwide.

Comprised of 175 students and 18 divisions, the society has been one of the most consistently successful co-curricular, interscholastic activity clubs at Syosset High School, with Long Island and New York State championships among their successes. Students participate in competitions to demonstrate their public speaking, acting, debating and writing skills, HIP HIP HOORAY - Hicksville Middle School is proud to welcome a new as well as their knowledge cheerleading team, coached by health teacher Matthew Canty.

of government and current events. They are constantly researching, seeking out new material to use and practicing to stay sharp.

“I hope to model for students the importance of dedication and the rewards of work, the necessity to handle oneself with dignity and treat others fairly, and to win — and more importantly, to lose — gracefully,” said Esslinger, whose students have accumulated an impressive collection of hardware from the many tournaments held from September through June, some as far west as California. “What I always tell them is that the trophies will end up in a box in your basement, but how you shape yourself into the best you is on display for the rest of your life.”

In the many years she has advised the club, Esslinger has seen some of her more active “Forensicals” go on to achieve great accomplishments in life.

Some of the more high-

profile alumni of the society include National Security Council Director Prem Kumar, presidential speechwriter Jon Lovett, Tony Award-winning singer and actress Idina Menzel, novelist Meg Wolitzer, law professor and foreign policy columnist Rosa Brooks, and Florida Panthers owner/CEO and CNBC contributor Doug Cifu.

More than 90 students qualified for the 2015 New York State finals, including state champions Betsy Cohen and Faisal Younus.

The society as a team finished in the top two in the state, and there were a large number of finalists at the national level in various categories.

“They learn to be confident about speaking in class,” said Esslinger.

“They all read a lot and learn to write better.

Most importantly, they all respect the power of words and learn to use the language ethically and effectively.”

Leftover Candy Continuing with tradition, Village Elementary School in the Syosset Central School District conducted its annual Operation Sweet Tooth activity, in which students brought in leftover, unopened Halloween candy to donate

to numerous charitable organizations.

Thirdand fourthgrade students and volunteer parents sorted and packaged candy to redistribute to organizations such as Angela’s House, AHRC, Jacob’s Light Foundation

for Troops, Mercy First, the Ronald McDonald House and the Smiles for Scott Foundation.

The tradition was started several years ago by parent Mary Majoy and Principal Jeffrey Kasper.

Perplexity of Perception By: Jamie Lynn Ryan I find it truly fascinating how individuals can come away with such varying perspectives on the same topic, time and time again.

Whether it be politics, societal issues or even something so lighthearted as this very column, everyone is entitled to their opinion – it’s just interesting how that view is arrived upon.

Intelligent argument is one thing; shameless bullying quite another. For some, there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.

I suppose these polarizing issues are what make our world go ‘round. Discussion is the basis of everything, from school classrooms to kitchen tables to podiums

SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS

BULLETIN BOARD

and soapboxes. Especially in this day and age of instant feedback, rarely can an opinion be expressed without an opposing argument cropping up almost immediately. Written forums are the best – or worst, as the case may be – since they afford people the anonymity of expressing often insulting, uneducated retorts. There is something about faceto-face conversation that affords a measure of respect, begrudging though it may be.

Personally, I feel this world is full of enough tragedy and conflict without the need to touch on it in this column.

South Bay’s Neighbor Newspapers has always been a forum for celebrating our local school and community

happenings, of offering parents, teachers and coaches the opportunity to spotlight their children – the next generation of up-and-coming debaters. If you’re searching for controversy, there are plenty of mediums to find it.

This need not be one of them.

It seems to me that, whatever your lot in life, the best approach is always an objective one. Listen before you speak; think before you write; and respect before you reproach. Children learn what they see, and live what they learn; and there is more than enough hatred to go around without bringing it into the home or classroom, onto the field or stage. We, the adults, are the example.

Let’s create one we can be proud to pass on.

A Special Thank You...

The Brittney Walsh Memorial Fund held its 3rd Annual Rock & Bowl event last week in an effort to provide three scholarshi ps for students looking to continue their education and promote aware ness among young people not to drink and drive.

Over the past three years, the fund has offere d close to $10,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors at the Copia gue Memorial High School.

This year, we hope to expand by offering the awards to other districts.

Before Brittney was killed by a drunk driver only two days after high school graduation, she was always found helping some body, and even after she’s gone, she still is.

The Fund and the scholarships are simple; being a 501c3 not-for-profit, all the money raised goes into a managed fund similar to your retirement 401k. This money earns interest and dividends.

This earned money then goes to the awards, leaving the principal amou nt there for many years to come.

3rd Annual Rock & Bo aiser wl Fundraise 3rd r Annual Rock & Bowl Fundr October 24th, 2015 October 24th, 2015 Bulletin Board posts should be no more than 200 words, and include your full name and hometown. Please e-mail your submissions to: jlynn@southbaysneighbor.com and include “Bulletin Board” in the subject line.

The Walsh’s lost a big piece of their family back in June three years ago, and feel it every day. Brittney’s mom, Cheryl said, “At times, it’s hard to smile and laugh, and the scholarship writing component helps us do it again.” What makes these three scholarships unique is they all require the scholar to write a 250-word essay detailing “The Funniest Thing You Ever Did” or “The Funniest Thing You Ever Saw.” Chery l continued to say, “You’d be surprised what these kids come up with.”

The Walsh’s would like to thank Farmingdale Lanes for all their support, the sponsors and businesses who offered gifts for the raffles, as well as all the people who showed their support by not only bowling but making their children and loved ones aware of the harmfulne ss of drinking and driving.

The principal, Gene Fennell, of Holy Trinity Diocesan High School announced today that Senior Molly Griffith of Massapequsa has been named a Commended Students in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program.

A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts

top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2016 competition by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). “ R e c o g n i z i n g academically talented students plays a fundamental role in the advancement of educational excellence within our nation,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “The young people recognized as Commended Students represent some of the best and brightest minds in the country as demonstrated by their outstanding performance in our highly competitive program. We sincerely hope this recognition will provide them with additional educational outlets and motivate them in their pursuit of academic achievement.”

YOUR WEEKLY PUZZLE PAGE IS SPONSORED BY:

U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand recently announced $1,887,950 in federal funding over the next five years for Nassau Community College.

This funding was allocated through the U.S. Department of Education’s TRIO Student Support Services program.

NCC will use the grant to provide academic support services to over 450 students with disabilities.

The installment for the first budget period is $377,588.

The College will provide students with disabilities personal academic advisement, career counseling, disability advocacy, financial advisement, and additional assistance with reading, math and writing.

“There is no better federal investment than one that helps students succeed, and that’s why this five-year Department of Education grant is so important to Nassau Community College,” said Senator Schumer. “Nassau Community College’s TRIO

Student Support Services program will provide academic resources to some of our most vulnerable students to increase graduation rates.

Investing in students now is a wise investment for the future, and I am pleased that the U.S. Department of Education has awarded Nassau Community College this funding.”

“This investment through the TRIO Support Services program will help Nassau Community College in delivering additional educational

opportunities and resources for students who need it most,” said Senator Gillibrand.

“Through comprehensive programs, Nassau Community College will help our students get the foundation they need to graduate, continue their education, get good jobs and have successful careers.”

“With our TRIO Project, Nassau Community College intends to identify and provide specific academic services to students with disabilities.

Students with disabilities

College to Receive Federal Funds are an underrepresented and marginalized population that has a history of experiencing limited capabilities when participating in the postsecondary educational experience,” said Catherine Vanek, MS, Nassau Community College Student Personnel Services TRIO Grant Director.

“Our TRIO counselors utilize a proven paradigm of Encouragement, Mentoring and Monitoring to provide an opportunity that leads to graduation and transfer to a four-year

college at a much higher rate than their peers across the nation.”

Federal funding through the Student Support Services Program is awarded to institutions of higher education to provide opportunities for academic development, assist students with basic college requirements, and to motivate students toward the successful completion of their postsecondary education.
