Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

Seaford Sixth, Ninth Graders Warmly Welcomed To New Schools

It’s a fresh start for Seaford’s sixth and ninth graders, who got to explore their new schools at recent orientation sessions.

For Seaford High School’s incoming freshmen, the final leg of their K-12 journey begins across the athletic fields from their previous school. The move may be short, and the green and white color scheme may be the same, but the experience will be vastly different. In high school, there’s more independence, responsibility and ownership of their educational plan.

Ninth graders were invited to an orientation program on Aug. 28. Following an informational meeting with Principal Nicole Schnabel and assistant principals Alex Mantay and Dr. Raphi

Morey, students went on tours of the building, led by upperclassman. Stops included the cafeterias,

gymnasium, library and music wing. Finally, the ninth graders were able to find and open their lockers for the 2023-24 school year.

Upperclassman also answered questions about student life, such as athletics, extracurricular activities and spirit events.

Ms. Schnabel added that at Seaford High School, students are encouraged to challenge themselves and step out of their comfort zone to gain new experiences. They will have plenty of support along the way as they strive to reach new heights. Strong connections with teachers, fellow students and the community will help the uncomfortable feel comfortable.

On Aug. 29, the recent graduates of Harbor and Manor elementary schools converged at their new school. Seaford Middle School’s sixth grade orientation featured an

informational session with Principal Dan Smith and Assistant Principal Joseph Polite. They introduced this year’s theme, “A family of learning.”

Mr. Smith and Mr. Polite reviewed a typical middle school schedule, discussed clubs and activities, and highlighted student support services. A quartet of student council members provided tips for middle school success.

Students, joined by their parents, were invited to tour the building to find their classes for the upcoming school year. Additionally, they were given their locker assignments. Many students, thrilled to have their first ever locker, got a jump start on decorating. Before leaving, students stopped in Mr. Smith’s office to turn in their completed scavenger hunt lists of important places in the building.

She completed a residency in radiation oncology at a combined program at Tufts and Brown University and served as chief resident. She then returned to her hometown where she has been practicing for the past 15 years and was appointed Chief of Radiation Medicine at Huntington Hospital. She has given many survivorship lectures

both in hospital and community settings including active participation in the Northwell Wellness Center. She has also served on various physician panels for community education and holds certificates in Nutrition from Cornell University.
