“I’m saving about $1,800 a year in energy costs with LED lighting.”*
—Guy Brogna, All Music Inc, Plainview
Meet Guy. He’s a local small business owner, rock bassist, and fan of LEDs. It didn’t hurt that he got $5,900 in rebates to replace his store’s old lighting with energy-efficient fixtures.* He says his store and his guitars look great in the new LED glow. And, with the monthly energy cost savings, he couldn’t be happier.
How can we help your small business save? psegliny.com/businessfirst *Rebates and savings will differ with every energy efficiency project.

A Taste Of Teamwork
Seaford Middle School students learned valuable teamwork skills while also enjoying a late-day treat at an ice cream social on Sept. 25. It was the first of what will be several teaming events throughout the year.
All sixth, seventh and eighth graders took part in the activity at the end of the school day. Students worked in groups of four or five and had to identify
and describe the flavors of three different scoops of ice cream. Each team had to come to a consensus on what flavors they tasted and worked together to come up with a name for each.
Before the tasting, students had conversations on the attributes of good teamwork. Once the ice cream was done and their flavors were identified, they reviewed the actions
they took to be successful.
“The goal for teaming events is to provide students with opportunities to learn how to work together, develop networks with students outside of their friend groups, and put into practice the skills and traits of a Seaford Scholar,” Principal Dr. Raphael Morey said, adding that they are plans to five additional teaming events this year.
